    How the devil uses people to bring an unclean spirit into the Church

    (Mark 1:21-27) "There was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit..." I believe that the devil goes to church every Sunday. He probably goes to church more often than some professing Christians. He came in the form of a man. "And there was in their synagogue A MAN with an unclean ...read more

    The church is the body of Christ, and the members of the body of Christ are the only one in all of God’s creation that are breathed upon, inspired, anointed, and moved upon by the Holy Spirit. Our challenge today is to be the continuation of that New Tes

    How we are to be salt and light in the world

    Brooks Atkinson, an American journalist, said, “I have no objection to churches, so long as they don’t interfere with God’s work”. Why are we here?

    We trumpet high impact ministry with all of its frills. Our services are filled with video clips, movie clips and unfortunately scripture clips. We take more time and efforts refining our delivery than we do making sure that what we are delivering has H

    In practically every gathering of ministers there is a subject that comes up; that subject is church growth. “How do we get people to come to church?” We have answered that question with a thousand books and yet by and large we are losing the battle for souls.

    It is easy to be tired of church if church does not connect with integrity, compassion, or fundamental life change. But you will not grow weary if you will work for the good of all.

He said that ...read more

    The early Christians devoted themselves to: 1. The Apostle’s teaching - learning. 2. The Fellowship - worship. 3. Breaking Bread - friendship. 4. Prayer

    This description of the early church is truly amazing. Something had happened to these otherwise ordinary people. The people who were a part of this church no longer thought of themselves — their own rights and possessions — their whole identity was a group identity. They found their meaning ...read more
