    [Basket experiment: slips of paper, Describe yourself, good and bad, no names.] Basically, [2] this is our church. Who we are as people is who we are as a church. The church isn’t just a name or a building or even a worship service. The church is God’s people together trying to ...read more

    God is angry with sin and indifference. The church cannot afford to reralize that God will bring us to account for how we live before a lost world.

    Beginning with the Church Ezekiel 9:1-11 Introduction: In Jerusalem, the Temple was to be a sanctuary, a place that was to be set apart, consecrated, dedicated and purified. It was to be a place that radiated the presence of God to Israel and would send ...read more

    Why is the Church so guilty of injustice and does it rule out faith in God as a valid life choice?

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. I’m going to begin today with a short ...read more

    A description of New Testament Worship in the 1st Century Church

    FUNCTIONS OF THE CHURCH: WORSHIP INTRODUCTION Two weeks ago we looked at the nature of worship in the early church. We saw from John 4:23-24 that their worship was in spirit and truth and from I Corinthians 14:40 that it was to be done decently and in order. Today we will examine the acts of ...read more

    Paul’s prayer (Ephesians 3:14-21) begins with “your glory” (v. 13b) and ends with “glory” (v. 21) This is a simple passage on how to pray for each other. These four things give God the glory He deserves/desires:

    If Christ is the head of the church, no bullying can ever be justified to bring about the result a leader desires. We must permit the Spirit of God to rule the church, and not mere mortals.

    “I have written something to the church, but Diotrephes, who likes to put himself first, does not acknowledge our authority. So if I come, I will bring up what he is doing, talking wicked nonsense against us. And not content with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers, and also stops those who ...read more

    What Is Church?

     | 6,126 views

    This may be one of the most misunderstood concepts in the Christian faith. A look into the word of God in Matthew brings to light the amazing calling that Jesus intends for us.

    What is Church? Listen to Matthew 16:13-28. Pay attention to how Jesus describes "Church," his path, and our relationship with Him. Matthew 16:18 gives us the first mention of the English word “church” in the New Testament. In all of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John this word “church” only occurs ...read more

    Why would Paul list such a long boooring list of people at the end of such a powerful New Testament book? Why waste the ink? The answer to that question is both intriguing and exciting to those of who belong to Jesus.

    I opened the sermon by asking the congregation to join with me in singing: “I’m So Glad I’m A Part Of The Family of God I’ve been washed in the fountain, cleansed by His blood Joint heirs with Jesus as we travel this sod For I’m part of the family, the family of God.” If you’re a Christian here ...read more

    This continues in my expository series through the book of Acts.

    There’s no getting around the fact that today’s text contains a part that strikes us as humorous, and the fact of the matter is that sometimes, we can do some funny things in church. A preacher was completing a temperance sermon: with great expression he said, “If I had all the beer in the ...read more
