    Portrait Of The Church Series

    Contributed by Darryl Klassen on Nov 8, 2006
    based on 6 ratings

    This is the first sermon in a series addressing the need for the Church to preserve its nature and purpose the way Christ intended it. This sermon speaks largely to the meaning of true fellowship.

    PORTRAIT OF THE CHURCH Some of you may ask why I titled this study on Corinthians “Preserving the Church in a Pagan World”. You may even object to the word “preserving” as sounding too much like maintaining or holding out against the world when the Church should be boldly invading our world. ...read more

    What was said to the Church in Laodicea - the seventh of the seven churches - and what it might mean for us today.

    Laodicea was a very, very wealthy city, founded by Antiochus II and named after his wife Laodice. The city was strategically located, where three major roads converged, so it was highly commercial. It was well known for its banking industry, its manufacture of black wool, and a medical school ...read more

    How does busyness hurt our ability to witness for Jesus? How does ministry sometimes change our focus from loving the Messiah? Learn how to avoid the trap of busyness from Jesus’ critique of the Ephesian church.

    I do some writing professionally. I haven’t had much published - but it’s a craft I care about and work on seriously. One of the best tools a writer has is not spell check - but gut check. By that I mean a critique group. A critique group reads what you’ve written - gives you some things they like ...read more

    A sermon encouraging our church to step out in faith and get off the edge. A message for a church that is sitting on the fence or a church that is ready to move into the direction God has called them.

    A church on the edge God’s relationship with us seems to be one of “edginess” of a risk taking journey- at least according to Scripture. it’s risky “to truly love” isn’t it? It’s risky to confess. It’s risky to forgive, it’s risky to truly care, it’s risky to surrender, confront, risky ...read more
