    Reading through the Bible from the very beginning, there is one consistent theme, God’s great love and compassion towards us. He is unchangeable, and in this we can have great confidence. It seems there is no greater motivation for faith than knowing thi

    Sermon: The Church is not a “one man show” As I was thinking about the sermon for today, I was struck by the thought that the Church is not a “one man show” God calls us to be a community – and the Church has no passengers.

     | 2,502 views

    We will no longer be a “Silent” Church, but a “Story” Church! IN REINVENTING THE CHURCH WE MUST SEE THAT OUR STORIES OF THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH JESUS CHRIST MUST BE SHARED WITH THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

    Last week I spoke about how the church is in crisis and unless we REINVENT the church, she will continue to die a slow but sure death. One of the ways we need to REINVENT the church today is by no longer being a COME AND GET IT church, but instead, a GO AND GET THEM church as Jesus modeled when ...read more

    Jesus was no fool. He knew that the Church would have its conflicts - so he gave us instructions on how to resolve them. Sdaly we so rarely believe him!

    Church Conflict Resolution Mt 18:15-20 This is the one place in Scripture where Jesus talks about Church Discipline, which nowadays is so sadly lacking. I’d like to look at one verse today 15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they ...read more

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

    Many when they start a study on the book of Revelation they like to skip the SEVEN CHURCHES OF REVELATION.

    Why? They get in a hurry wanting to read about the Anti-Christ, the Two witness and the 144 Jewish missionaries and etc. But in skipping the SEVEN CHURCHES of REVELATION they are missing out on some of the good teachings of Christ we learn from His live. Such as: We can see from the SEVEN ...read more

    What does it take to make a church a great church?

    The Church. The Church. When I say church, what do you think of? A little white clapboard building with a steeple and a bell, or perhaps the Crystal Cathedral in California.
