    How is it possible for believers, or even entire congregations to sideline themselves and keep from being part of what God is doing?

    Urge the congregation to turn back to God and heed His warnings, as His judgment is coming, and this day will be a day of darkness, not light.

    Good morning, Church! We're about to dive into a very heavy topic today. Now, I'm not here to frighten you, but rather to wake us all up to the reality that we're facing. C.S.

  • The Inherited Church Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 16, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,480 views

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.

    “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete ...read more

    Contributed by William Mouser on Jul 18, 2005
    based on 7 ratings
     | 5,866 views

    How does Jesus’ parable, which argues for leaving tares undisturbed, square with admonitions in the epistles to discipline errant members of the congregation?

    Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 As far as the parables of our Lord are concerned, the one before us in today’s gospel is certainly clear. Some of them are not so clear, even when our Lord interprets them for his disciples; and others are left in the gospel record uninterpreted. This one, however, is ...read more
