    Church For The Churched

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Aug 25, 2006
    based on 14 ratings

    Who is the church for? Believers or unbelievers? Or to use more contemporary terms - churched or unchurched. Listen today as Pastor Steve addresses who is the church in the midst of the seeker-sensitive movement.

    Recently I was invited to attend a church planters conference in Lake Yale. At that conference I was exposed to various teaching and methods for reaching the unchurched. As I sat there and listened and took notes, I couldn’t help to think how we have somehow missed it when it comes to the purpose ...read more

    The god of Early Grey Tea and Cucumber sandwiches will never draw people to church. But there is a different God who will....

    “Excuse me - we’ve lost something.... oh what was it ?… oh yes GOD - have you seen him anywhere?” Sounds crazy doesn’t it - how could we not notice God. “O that you would tear open the heavens and come down, so that the mountains would quake at your presence - ...read more

    Having grown up in "The Restoration Movement", our emphasis has been restoring today’s chuch in the likeness of the early church. We should be imitating Christ, not the church.

    RESTORING THE CHURCH INTO THE LIKENESS OF CHRIST! A. Modern Day Parable: ILLUSTRATION: Around the turn of the last century, there was a man who lived alone with his 5 year-old son. The boy’s mother died shortly after giving birth. The boy was greatly ADMIRED by his father. He was especially ...read more

    Strong Words For A Worldy Church Series

    There is probably no more appropriate book in the Bible to the western church than 1 Corinthians. The early church was by no means perfect. However that is no excuse for not living a life surrendered to the sanctifying work of Christ.

    ntro: While we were in Myrtle Beach SC my wife of course wanted to go shopping. So I could spend time with here I went and actually found something that would be useful for us to think about as we begin the New Year. A little sign said cherish yesterday, dream for tomorrow, but live for today. ...read more

    "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth."

God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. ...read more

    The Bible is foundational to our faith. Not just as a spiritual guide but as a book that reveals the authentic history of God’s interaction with humanity. The Bible is the inspired Word of God, grounded in real events, real people, and real history.

    First in a series on the early church from Acts 1-4. This message deals with how to wait on God.

    Note: Although my outline is very similar to a great sermon by Medford Foskey on this same passage, I only read his sermon after completing most of the work on mine. However I did "steal" his opening story. “It is a sin to be good if God has called us to be great.” That is the first line from ...read more

    I’m convinced that when the 6 characteristics of the early church are put into practice, & are evident in our lives, then God will use us to build a great church that brings glory & honor to Him.

    MELVIN NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (Revised: 2011) A. I’m sure that most of us here this morning would agree that the greatest single event in human history is the resurrection of Jesus. Just seven weeks ago much of the world celebrated that occasion.

    Naomi suffered three bereavements and yet proved God’s providential care.

    There’s a striking phrase in our reading from the book of Ruth - "The Lord came to the aid of his people" (1:6). The Authorized Version puts it: "The Lord has visited his people." All of us have known the problems as well as the joys of life - and they come at all stages in life’s journey. Are ...read more
