  • Defining The Church

    Contributed by Christopher Roberts on Dec 14, 2001

     | 10,309 views

    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

    based on 431 ratings
     | 122,718 views

    A sermon designed to motivate complacent Christians to become more committed and involved in the church.

    Introduction: When I was a kid growing up on the farm, one of the annual jobs I always looked forward to was the "chicken harvest." I guess I should apologize in advance for the somewhat graphic nature of this illustration; however, it best illustrates my point. Nonetheless, I looked forward to ...read more

  • A Happy Church! Series

    It probably surprises you to learn that a book like Revelation begins with the word blessed. How in the world can this prophetic book make us happy? Revelation makes Christ’s Church happy because it reminds us that our King is on His throne.

    “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are ...read more

  • Order In The Church

    based on 30 ratings
     | 9,056 views

    Church problems are like physical problems: if left unsolved, they grow and become worse, and they infect more people. The local church is a body; and what germs are to the physical body, sin is to the spiritual body.

    ORDER IN THE CHURCH 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18 INTRO: When problems are not solved, they grow and become worse. A sliver left in the finger can become infected and cause a toxic condition so serious that surgery may become necessary. If you tell your doctor that you stepped on a rusty nail, he ...read more

    Are we participants or spectators? That is a question that each believer needs to ask themselves. The church is on mission. Believers need to make a choice.

    Introduction When I was preparing this sermon I felt God ask me two questions. The first question that I felt God ask me: "What is your passion?" Music, Enviroment, Work, Politics, Technology, Cooking, Sports (Basketball, Baseball, Football, Soccer Etc.), Sports in particular provided me with a ...read more

  • The Church - A Family

    based on 101 ratings
     | 35,454 views

    When we think of the church, we most often think of a place like this where we come to worship and to study and be taught God’s Word, but before the church was the institution, as we know it today, the church was a family.

    THE CHURCH – A FAMILY (Mat 12:47-50) 47, Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee. 48, But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49, And he stretched forth his hand toward his ...read more

    based on 178 ratings
     | 33,430 views

    I have had many supporting churches, as a missionary, that the word “lighthouse” was a part of their name. The Bible makes it very clear that we as a church body are to be a lighthouse to the world.

    THE CHURCH – A LIGHTHOUSE This will be our final message in this series on the church. (Mark 16:15 NKJV) And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. (Mat 5:14-16 NKJV) "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. {15} ...read more
