The church should have an attitude -- the attitude of awe on one side, and gladness on the other -- with sincerity holding them in balance.

Love In Large Denominations

Contributed by Michael Hollinger on Jun 25, 2006

We have ’Free Church Homecoming’ - an ecumenical service once a year. This sermon is an encouragement to go and to be the church universal, not just a congregation.

I have a confession to make. I have not been looking forward to Free Church as I ought. I remember when I attended my first one eight years ago, I looked forward to it. But nowadays, sometimes it seems like it’s getting just a little bit old. It’s tempting to say that the idea has had its day and ...read more
