    What Does Our Church Government Look Like? Series

    Contributed by Bob Faulkner on Aug 4, 2015
     | 3,763 views

    Are we patterned on Rome, on America, or on the Bible in our church? Who is in charge?

    CHURCH GOVERNMENT If Paul were to visit other American congregations, he might be just as appalled at the male leadership as at the female. He would see that, in the main, congregations are built around one man. And with sorrow he would note that the size of the congregation is in direct ...read more

    Get Jesus back to the center of attention of the leaders and people, so that the chaos may be calmed and we can get to the task at hand.

    Today we are encouraged by the Scriptures to reflect on the Church, and how the Holy Spirit has, over twenty centuries, kept Christ’s church alive, witnessing to His Resurrection, and growing. We are also reminded that human beings, in our weakness, can impede that life, growth and ministry, but ...read more

    In the election of Greek-speaking deacons and Stephen's ministry, we see how God prepares His men and plans His move.

We are going to look at Stephen, one of the elected SEVEN. 8 Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. 9 Opposition arose, however, from members of the Synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called)-Jews ...read more

    We have been burning fuel very rapidly. Coal, oil, natural gas .. we are consuming it. It is irreplaceable.

    We claim to know too much, as we want to make ourselves elite, we want to close off new ideas. Know nothing but the servant heart (a sermon for deacon ordination).

    The psalmist says, “He has put a new song in my mouth.” And so I took that very literally and composed a new song for church today. Do you want to hear me sing it? It’s called, “Blessed ignorance, Jesus is mine” You say you don’t think you know that one? You say you think I got that wrong? ...read more

    Today we’re going to look at the second half of the list of qualifications for Elders from Titus 1:8-9 and then we’re going to take a brief look at the role of Deacons in the church.

    Today is my 25th birthday! Some of you look skeptical because you’re sure I’m older than that. Through the witness of my college roommate, I was born spiritually on October 3rd, 1979. Actually, I wish I acted older than I am. While I’m thankful for all the changes that Christ has made in my life, ...read more

    Funeral sermon for Buford Pervall: deacon, usher, church clerk. To know your own value means that you learn to trust God in large matters and you seek positive change.

    Someone once remarked that a cynic is a person who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. Isn’t that an apt description of our time, when we will pay inflated prices for houses, we will spend $75.00 to fill up our SUV’s, and will hire basketball coaches for forty million dollars ...read more

    Sermon for Deacon Ordination service; we obsess on things that do not matter and ignore things that do make a difference. Our sin is using holy things for our own pleasure, compounded with a failure to read the signs of the times.

    We give too much of ourselves to things that do not last. We give too little of ourselves to things that will endure. It is easy to obsess on things that don’t matter. It is tempting to ignore things that really count. If something does not change that pattern, at the end of the day, we are ...read more
