    A Gift To Treasure Series

    Contributed by R. Darrel Davis on Jan 28, 2014
     | 7,808 views

    As with any gift, it is easy to take church membership for granted. In order to avoid that, we must understand the gift and how we came to get it so that we will treat it like the gift that it is.

    Introduction: How many of you have ever been a tourist before? You know, you travel to a new place intent on seeing all the wonderful "new to you" sites. If it was an international excursion, you get to have your passport stamped, exchange currency, maybe learn a few phrases in the local language, ...read more

    Today I will be sharing with you one of God’s simple solutions to the problem of little or no growth in the church.

    There is an urban legion floating around on the Internet that tells the story of how at the height of the space race during the 1960’s, NASA took on the challenge of finding a way to write in space. Normal pens wouldn’t work due to the zero gravity the astronauts would face in the space capsules. ...read more

     | 2,003 views

    This week we will be introduced to the steps or the process of church discipline.

    Because God loves us, He disciplines us… (Heb 12:3 NKJV) For consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners against Himself, lest you become weary and discouraged in your souls. (Heb 12:4 NKJV) You have not yet resisted to bloodshed, striving against sin. (Heb 12:5 NKJV) And you have ...read more

    If we want to be a powerful church, we need to be a clean church - a holy people.

    In Cleveland a few years ago, this banner proclaimed the virtues of a certain grade of motor oil: "A Clean Engine Always Delivers Power." This is what church discipline is all about--a clean church. If we want to be a powerful church, we need to be a clean church, a holy people. (1 ...read more

    Dealing With The Lost 1 Of 5

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 7, 2022
     | 1,537 views

    God put the church here for a specific purpose! It is obvious today as we look at many churches and compare them with the scriptures, that many churches are ignorant of their purpose.

    Ignorance is something we see in all areas of life. Illus: When Vice President Al Gore was seeking to be president, he was running against President George W. Bush, who is known as a man of FAITH. God is a big part of his life. Gore knew that the polls indicated that the American people liked ...read more

     | 1,383 views

    This is the third message in our series of the church dealing with the lost.

    One thing we all will agree on is that a church should be a place where sincere Christians have gathered for worship and to see from God’s Word how they can reach the lost. Illus: The story is told of a two thousand member Baptist church that was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning. ...read more

    I want to talk to you again about THE CHURCH REACHING THE LOST.

    There are a lot of misunderstandings about God’s church, but one of the biggest misunderstandings is about the purpose of the church. There is a reason that churches all over this nation, week after week, month after month, and year after year never win any souls to Christ. WHAT IS THE REASON? ...read more

    Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021

     | 4,217 views

    It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

    In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more
