Unless The Lord Builds The House

I heard about a man who picked up a homeless man and took him to Denney’s for breakfast. While eating the man asked him how he ended up this way. 3. He said, "Up until ...read more

Building The Lord’s House

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022

If the church is going to promote abundant life and begin attracting people, it must become more than just a physical structure. It must be seen as a house, or rather, a home. It must become a place where people feel safe and secure.

God calls us to fruitfulness, inviting our prayers and faithful actions to cultivate blessing, growth, and goodness in every area of our ordinary lives.

Fall On Us

Breaking Down Barriers Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Oct 24, 2020

Peter’s response to these religious rule-keepers is a model for us as we face criticism or complaints. We’ll see that Peter’s answer is more pastoral than argumentative. I see seven correctives to help us handle criticism.
