    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jun 16, 2020
     | 2,170 views

    The Church was born on the day of Pentecost. What were the gatherings to be like. Should the be like the gatherings that took place in the Jewish Synagogues and the Temple or were they to be something different?

    How Should the Church Worship? Today we will be reading from John 4:7-26 Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday. Pentecost literally means 50 or the 50th.

    Strengthening Leadership In The Church

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jun 27, 2020
     | 4,106 views

    Thus, believers limit leadership to the secular world and the places where citizens socialize, political establishments, corporate business, sporting activities, and professional gatherings in society. The price is the low and unworkable leadership structure in the body of Chris

    Therefore, there is a need for the restructuring of the present church model if she desires to project Christ's government and leadership to the world. There must be an all-inclusive, team spirit, true unity, and a three-but a single-level model built upon the membership, stewardship, and ...read more
