What Is Our Purpose? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 5, 2021

If we do not know the Lord’s purpose as a church, then we can’t plan for success; and thus, we will see no results in reaching the world for Jesus Christ. This passage shows the five purposes (five E-words) designed for every church.

This morning, I want us to think about our purpose. The word “purpose” is defined as, “the reason for which something exists or is done,” and “an intended or desired result.”(1) Based on the definition of the word “purpose,” we can see how we need to consider the reason why we do certain things, ...read more

He's Still Around

Contributed by Ken Alford on Nov 19, 2001

The book of Genesis starts out recording the activities of God in Creation. Some have called the Biblical account of creation a myth. I call it truth. Anything that might substitute for it, i.e., truth, can itself be considered myth. Skeptics and sc

Faith Is A Verb

Contributed by Eric Ledermann on Jul 23, 2002

Faith is not something we hold on to, it is not something that lays on a table and does not move but only for display. Faith is active--it is what causes us to act. If a person is not acting on upon his/her faith, then that person has no faith. Let us e

Steps To Protect Our Families

Contributed by S. R. Manohar on Jan 2, 2019

Through JESUS Christ every family is restored and protected. It is God's will that before the coming of Lord Jesus Christ all the families should be restored to their original form i.e., how Adam and Eve were in their love, understanding and walk with God.

The nearest thing to God's heart is a family; therefore, the first priority on the devil's list to destroy, is families. Exactly as he destroyed the first family of Adam and Eve. But the Bible says, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him ...read more
