    My Brother's Keeper

    Contributed by Rev. Mario Gonzalez on Oct 16, 2010
     | 5,198 views

    The question asked of God by Cain in Genesis was, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The unstated answer was yes. Apostasy is not just a theological departure, but a state of being promoted by our thinking and actions. Our responsibility is to identify it and re

    What are the vital signs of a healthy Church?

    When does a person become a part of God’s church? When that happens you are not automatically a part of a local church body. You are a part of the church as a whole.

    Too Wide To Hide

    based on 20 ratings
     | 7,461 views

    Preached in a church of another denomination for Christian Unity Sunday and Martin Luther King Sunday: we tend to hide our own history and to conceal our witness. But God calls us into a wider ministry.

    I’m not sure how it is among Methodists, but we Baptist folks have a strange custom of hiding when we come to church. We hide. We try to get in and get out without being noticed. I don’t know whether Methodists are infected with this disease, but with Baptists it is an epidemic. We hide. ...read more

     | 5,702 views

    We as believers in Christ, and as the church of the living God, have a story to tell. What does our story say about our relationship with Him?

    A Sermonette during our church's Thanksgiving and 20th Anniversary Celebration

    My topic of sharing is on the Present History of RCAC. I struggled with the term “present history”. As we know, the present means now (things that exist now, things that are new) while history means things of the past, things that are old. Almost sounded like an oxymoron. With help ...read more
