Called Out: The Role Of The Church

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022

Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and no one else (Matthew 16:13-19). We have strayed from what the Scriptures teach about the church's purpose and responsibilities and instead allowed the world's opinions take precedence over what we are to be and do.

When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

This lesson introduces this series by examining Matthew 16:13-19, showing that Jesus is the builder, architect, and owner of His church.

Deliberate Church Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 4, 2021

One law professor said that without lying and bragging, half the pickup lines in bars across the country wouldn’t exist. Churches are deliberately places where bragging is non-existent (about ourselves) and where grace is paramount.

Today is Super Bowl Sunday. CBS is hoping for more than 100 million people watch the game today. The Super Bowl represents the best two teams and the best 106 players competing for bragging rights. There is little humility on the field today. They’ll talk about thankfulness and offer moderate words ...read more

The Christ Of Christmas

Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 20, 2017

THE DEPTH OF THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS BEING LOST, AS THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF THE WORLD LESSENS. CHRISTMAS IS NO LONGER BEING CELEBRATED AS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF HOPE FOR THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH.

THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS AS I WAS PREPARING FOR MY MESSAGE TODAY I CAME ACROSS THIS STATEMENT. “AS A WHOLE, PEOPLE LOOK FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS WITH MORE ANTICIPATION THAN ANY OTHER SEASON OF THE YEAR.” COMMERCIAL INTERESTS CERTAINLY ANTICIPATE THE COMING CHRISTMAS SEASON. THEY GEAR THEIR ...read more

The "Normal" Church

Contributed by Billy Kryger on Oct 20, 2003

"Normal" means "conforming to a standard". The Standard for our churches ought to be the Lord Jesus Christ. The church at Jerusalem gives us an excellent blueprint for how a church ought to be.

INTRODUCTION: God wants every church to be a “normal” church. What is normal? Webster’s dictionary says, “conforming to a standard.” God has given the standard for His church. When we compare the church in the book of Acts with our churches today, we fall so far short of God’s standard. ...read more
