  • Why Is It So Important For Christians To Meet Together?

    Contributed by David Leach on Jan 25, 2014
     | 11,609 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

    Contributed by R. Darrel Davis on Jan 28, 2014
     | 7,800 views

    As with any gift, it is easy to take church membership for granted. In order to avoid that, we must understand the gift and how we came to get it so that we will treat it like the gift that it is.

    This week we will be introduced to the steps or the process of church discipline.

    Because God loves us, He disciplines us… (Heb 12:3 NKJV) For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. (Heb 12:4 NKJV) You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. (Heb 12:5 NKJV) And you have ...read more

    My first experience with church discipline… My first experience with church discipline came in the mid 1980’s when my family and I were members of a church where we were asked to pray for a sister who had left her husband and young daughter to live with her lover. Each month during communion we ...read more

     | 1,558 views

    If we want to be a powerful church, we need to be a clean church - a holy people.

    In Cleveland a few years ago, this banner proclaimed the virtues of a certain grade of motor oil: "A Clean Engine Always Delivers Power." This is what church discipline is all about--a clean church. If we want to be a powerful church, we need to be a clean church, a holy people. (1 ...read more

     | 3,384 views

    Today I will be sharing with you one of God’s simple solutions to the problem of little or no growth in the church.

    There is an urban legion floating around on the Internet that tells the story of how at the height of the space race during the 1960’s, NASA took on the challenge of finding a way to write in space. Normal pens wouldn’t work due to the zero gravity the astronauts would face in the space capsules. ...read more

    In this brief picture of life in the Early Church three distinguishing dimensions emerge that enabled them to become a flourishing assembly.

    ACTS 2: 42-47 THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE BELIEVERS After the birth of the church at Pentecost Luke describes the church by telling us what distinguished those who were saved by believing in who Jesus is and what He has done for their salvation from sin.

  • Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,215 views

    It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

    In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more

I’m not going to condemn Halloween, but want to point out some parallels between our world today and the origin and meaning of Halloween which goes back 100's of ...read more

  • Dealing With The Lost 1 Of 5

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 1,532 views

    God put the church here for a specific purpose! It is obvious today as we look at many churches and compare them with the scriptures, that many churches are ignorant of their purpose.

    Ignorance is something we see in all areas of life. Illus: When Vice President Al Gore was seeking to be president, he was running against President George W. Bush, who is known as a man of FAITH. God is a big part of his life. Gore knew that the polls indicated that the American people liked ...read more

     | 1,382 views

    This is the third message in our series of the church dealing with the lost.

    One thing we all will agree on is that a church should be a place where sincere Christians have gathered for worship and to see from God’s Word how they can reach the lost. Illus: The story is told of a two thousand member Baptist church that was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning. ...read more

    I want to talk to you again about THE CHURCH REACHING THE LOST.

    There are a lot of misunderstandings about God’s church, but one of the biggest misunderstandings is about the purpose of the church. There is a reason that churches all over this nation, week after week, month after month, and year after year never win any souls to Christ. WHAT IS THE REASON? ...read more
