Defining The Church

Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Dec 14, 2001

What exactly is the church ... A community center, a social action organization, or a gathering of people set apart from a sinful world and set apart to a life devoted to God’s calling? Peter, the rock, helps us define the true purpose of the church.

Please e-mail me with any comments or if you use any part of this at your church at Mail4ChrisR@aol.com. I would love to hear about it. God Bless! - Chris To define the church there is no better place in the Bible to look than at the 16th Chapter of Matthew and Peter’s confession at Caesarea ...read more

Where's The Army?

Contributed by Larry Elder on Jul 14, 2003

Today the church, the Christian, has changed God’s job description and prefers hiding within the four walls of the church, sitting in a pew, limiting God’s light. Believes for the most part have small visions centered on self-motivation

Up Against The World Series

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Sep 12, 2005

The cosmos opposes God and is condemned by God. This “world system” is society organized without God and against God. At best, He gets a back seat. The cosmos puts people at the center of all things instead of God. Belonging to Christ involves a radic

Nebuchadnezzar: Pride's Proud Prisoner

Contributed by Donnie Martin on Sep 21, 2003

Pride tends to make one see themselves as the center of one’s own universe; as the one who is in control, when in fact, pride holds us prisoner. God’s dealings with Nebuchadnezzar on the issue of pride totally changed his thinking.

God, Gender, And Pornography Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 12, 2021

Thank you for joining for this important topic: God, Gender, and Pornography. In an interesting twist of God’s rich providence, our teens are looking at this subject with a guest upstairs this evening. The Problem of Pornography is real.
