     | 11,553 views

    Why do we need meetings anyway when we could just sit at home and read our Bibles?

    Why is so important for Christians to meet together? What’s our real purpose for coming to this meeting of Christians – which is the Church? Honestly, why am I at this particular meeting of the Church? Habit, duty, to please someone else, to gain favor with God or do I have a really ...read more

    Boldness In Church Planting Series

    Contributed by Paul Apple on Jan 13, 2010
     | 7,541 views

    Supernatural boldness in church planting validates authentic ministry when based on pure motives and proper conduct (the marks of Spirit-filled church planters).

    As we reach the end of our first month of attempting to plant a church and as we study the NT model for church planting from the Book of 1 Thessalonians, we need to ask ourselves if we are too tentative. What is impressive from studying Paul and Silas and Timothy is their confidence and ...read more

    Diversity In The Church

     | 5,793 views

    Leadership in the congregation is to reflect the Lord’s choice rather than seeking diversity as defined in the world.

    “The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, ...read more

And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so ...read more
