    A sermon to deal with dissension and other harmful areas to the unity of a church.

    THE PRAYER OF CHRIST FOR HIS CHURCH “But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves.

    The commands of love in 1 Corinthians 13 aren’t just for wedding ceremonies, but for the Church and her ministry throughout the world.

    THE GREATEST NEED THE WORLD HAS TODAY IS FOR THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH TO SHOW THEM AND PROVE TO THEM THAT THERE REALLY IS SUCH A THING AS THE GENUINE, CHRIST-LIKE EXAMPLE OF AGAPE LOVE. IF YOU JUST SIMPLY LOOK AT TODAY’S POPULAR CULTURE IN LITERATURE, MUSIC, ADVERTISING AND THE VISUAL ARTS, YOU WOULD ...read more

    A Prayer for the New (Church) Year

    Happy New Year! No, this is not a “Max Webber” greeting. Max (a member at St. Peter), as you know, likes to greet people with “Happy New Year!” no matter what time of year it is just to get a reaction. I, however, am very serious when I say “Happy New Year!” because even though January 1st is a ...read more

    Barnabas was perfectly willing to take backseat, to play second fiddle, and to stand in the shadows. He is truly one of the unsung heroes of the early church.

    The Unsung Hero Of The Early Church Acts 4:36-37 I never truly appreciated Barnabas, and his contributions to the church, and the cause of Christ until the last week. I am now convinced that Barnabas is the unsung hero of the early church. The first thing that you’ll notice about Barnabas ...read more

    based on 65 ratings
     | 4,207 views

    Instead of working to get a crowd in Church on Sunday, we need to concentrate on winning one soul to Christ for eternity! There are only two important points to this message, 1. Forget about the Crowd, and 2. Go after ONE.

    Title: “How to Get a Crowd in Church?” Every preacher wants the blessing of God upon his Church. I too, want to see a crowd in my Church, but how to do it is another thing to consider.
