    These warnings in Revelation 2 and 3, serve generally as a wakeup call. A call to attention, A call to leave nothing undone, A call to carry God’s gospel with firsthand experience and knowledge of the gospels ability to do whatever is needed!

    Jesus Delivers His Church

    Contributed by Reuben Bredenhof on Jan 28, 2021
     | 4,010 views

    In his church, the Lord Jesus is still doing the good work that He has begun, and He is doing it unstoppably.

    Beloved in Christ, I’d be worried if the church was a human effort. If it was up to us alone to defend the church, maintain her unity, or increase her numbers, we’d have reason to be concerned. For the church would certainly follow the path of so many man-made clubs and societies—for a while strong ...read more

    Many of the churches -- and by churches, I mean Christians -- have forgotten the church is meant to thrive outside the walls of the church house by serving others and by being a means of God’s Grace. It is time for the Church to leave the building.

MARK 16:15 On last Sunday I preached from the subject “THE CHURCH” – this morning I want to continue that message or Part-II and tag this message – “THE CHURCH HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.” I remember when I was still relatively young, Elvis ...read more

     | 3,895 views

    Jesus goes on to tell the believers at Ephesus to do the works that they did at first.

    First, we were encouraged to “remember”. Last time we were encouraged to “repent”. Many of us came to the front of the church to confess our sins to God and to forsake them. That was a good thing. That was a liberating thing. But, according to Jesus in Revelation chapter two, “remembering ...read more

    Paul’s Prayer For The Church

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 10, 2022
     | 4,101 views

    In this passage of scripture we are going to deal with a prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesians. This prayer is considered by some as the second most important prayer ever prayed.

    Folks have some strange ideas about prayer. Some folks do not have the slightest idea of what prayer is. Illus: This reminds me of Karin Wotten of Ocala, Florida who tells about the opening exercises of their Vacation Bible School, when they asked for volunteers to pray.

    George Barna in his book Turnaround Churches, profiles thirty churches that were about to die and made a turnaround. He compares dying churches to the Sears Catalogue.
