    The church is one body and not many and yet unity is often hindered by such "diseases" as pride, self-sufficiency, ignorance and laziness. To "heal" we need first to die to ourselves and surrender to Christ who will change us.

That’s what everyone who has yet to come to Christ is doing - seeking to justify themselves in the sight of God, in the sight of others or in their own sight. Religion leads to the “comparison ...read more

    The early church reached the then known world with the Gospel in a little over three centuries. What will it take for the church today to affect the world with the message of the Kingdom of God (adapted from a sermon by Morris Cerullo)

    It is not enough to know God and Jesus--you must also engage the Holy Spirit in your life.

    Life “de-powers” us. It saps our energies, depletes our courage, drains our patience. People–pressures get us down; problems stir us up; physical ills distress us; worry over people we love disturbs us. We all need strength—strength to think clearly, love creatively, ...read more

    There are too many people in our churches today who want to follow Jesus and yet they reject the Bible. We need to be desperate for more of God.

    Back in the 1990’s a friend of mine pioneered church in Liberty, Missouri called Desperation Church. In 1995 Marie Barnett wrote the song Breathe, the chorus says, “I’m desperate for you.” Searching the music libraries of CCLI, there are at least 50 songs with the word “desperate” in the title. ...read more
