    Our failures in the Christian community remind us of our need for total and complete dependance on Jesus.

    Like you, I’ve been watching the terrible scandal surrounding the abuse of children by priests in the Roman Catholic church.

    " Must" For The Growing Church

    Contributed by Joel Santos on Sep 30, 2004
    based on 37 ratings
     | 5,635 views

    If we are to see our churches growing like the early church, we must be like the Jerusalem church. Certain characteristics should be present in our churches today before growth takes place.

    The whole process of growth is caused by God. A farmer plows his field, sows the seed and fertilizes and cultivates the plant--all the while knowing that, in the final analysis, he is utterly dependent on forces outside himself. He knows he cannot cause the seed to germinate nor can he produce the ...read more

    Looking at Pentecost and the gift of the Spirit to the Church

    I’ve previously made the point in a sermon that I know my word processor on my computer is an Anglican, because every time I type in the word ‘church’ it tries to suggest ‘Church of England’ as a valid alternative. The feast of Pentecost which we celebrate today is considered by many to be the ...read more

    Of all the miracles going on in the early church why does Luke mention this cripple? There is something significant about this healing that makes it worthy of Scripture.

    God is manifesting Himself in ways that might seem to scare us. God wants us to know that we don’t have to fear His Presence. Church, I believe that the lightning is inside of our church.

    Reformation Sunday. As in Luther’s Day, those who will kill the church are those who have no hope for its future, no respect for its past, and no presence in its present.
