    Prayer For The Church

     | 7,323 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    We can't be the church as individuals, yet in the American church today many have the mentality of being lone rangers. If we are going to be the church that God intended we must be committed to the church and to each other.

    Living As The Church Ephesians 4:1-16 INTRO: Have you ever read the Gospels and looked for the church? If you haven’t you should try it sometime. But I can tell you that you will not find much about church in the Gospels. Mark, Luke, and John don’t even mention the church and the ...read more

    This was the first problem Paul dealt with in his letter to the Corinthians because a divided church won’t last long.

    The church at Corinth was in a sad state. The fellowship of the church was about to collapse. Listen to some of the things that were occurring and see if they sound familiar: verbal accusations, differing opinions, competitive positions, power struggles, envy contention, grumbling, griping, ...read more

     | 20,782 views

    Many churches are no more than museums or Country-Clubs, unable to help those in need. Jesus wants the church to be like a hospital, not to judge, but to bring healing and positive direction. Do what Jesus did!

    The Rapture Of The Church

    Contributed by Luther Sexton on Mar 14, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,691 views

    Ministers often complicate the doctrine of the rapture for people by stating that many signs must be seen and many prophecies must be fulfilled before the second coming of Christ, and then, at the same time, they make statements that He might come tonight or at any moment.

    THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH INTRO: We mean the rapture of the church, the catching up of all true believers in Christ to meet the Lord in the air. Dake I Thes 4:13-17, I Cor 15:23, Phil 3:20-21, John 14:1-3, Luke 21:34-36, Col. 3:4 Called "the coming of the Lord” but never the second ...read more
