    Local assemblies need to get a hold of this fact on our relationships in them because we are hurting people big time with conflicts and cliques.

    17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the ...read more

    The only way to fulfill the purpose of the church and of being a Christian is to be committed to opening people’s minds to receive Christ Jesus and eternal life.

    Open Minds – Luke 24: 44 - 53 Intro: When I was in high school, I could not understand why it was necessary for me to take subjects like history, algebra, geometry or chemistry. --- Perhaps the reason I felt that way was because those were the hardest classes for me. --- Regardless, no one could ...read more

    Christian Hope vs Death. A brief funeral message for a Christian. Change the name and you are good to go.

    Scripture tells us many things about the death of a Christian. Scripture does not gloss over the fact that death is a painful reality for us, nor does it tells us to pretend to be happy about the death of a loved one. We are expected to cry, have times of great sadness, mourn, and be at a loss when ...read more

    If Jesus Isn't In Church You Go Home With Your Demons

    Contributed by Aaron Holbrough on Feb 12, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,076 views

    We need to domesticate the word Demon to imply anything that desires to negatively control and influence us. Once we do that, so much of what Jesus does become incredibly applicable to us.

    Did you happen to bring a demon to church on Sunday or maybe just sit beside one? Hard to tell isn’t it, Botox is really screwing up my ability to spot them in a crowd. In Luke 4:31 we find Jesus is teaching in a Synagogue, and at some point a man interrupts and an evil spirit speaks to ...read more
