    When a lost person comes in the doors of this church, they sit down and they look around and see a thousand Christians in here singing praises to God. That has an impact on them because with one heart and one voice, we are glorifying God together.

    INTRODUCTION I would like to acknowledge a very special guest who is here today. It is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is here. He said, “Where two or three are gathered in my name, I’m right there in the midst.” Choir, thank you for singing to Him. There are songs that we sing about ...read more

    1. If there is going to be unity in the church we have to give up having to always be right. 2. Our unity is meant to be a reflection of the unity of God. 3. The purpose of unity is that the world may believe.

    In August of 1999 in Landover, Maryland, the papers reported that 100 years of Christian fellowship, unity, and community outreach ended in an act of congregational discord.

    A shorter midweek message that might help other churches in dealing with some of the potential problems they must deal with in growing from a very small to a medium sized church in a short period of time.

    We all have choices in life. Some choices lead us into good times, while others will lead us into bad times. And considering that we are free to make whichever choice we want, we should be very careful and use much wisdom, because most choices, good or bad, have far reaching consequences that we ...read more

    Corinth was split over leaders because they misunderstood both the message and the messenger. Paul resets the standards in 1 Corinthians 4.

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 11, 2023
     | 1,125 views

    A great imagery is that of the Church being a Building, a spiritual house for God. The most vital part of the construction is the CORNERSTONE. We look at Christ the Cornerstone and the laying of the foundation of the Church. We are the continuing living stones.

    SOME ASPECTS OF THE CHURCH FROM ITS BEGINNING - THE CHURCH’S CONSTRUCTION - PART 6 THE CHURCH’S CONSTRUCTION The Church is entirely a New Testament concept though as we saw, it is seen typically in the Old Testament.
