    The Foundational Role Of Apostles And Spiritual Gifts In The Church

    Contributed by Anthony (Tony) Charles on Jul 11, 2025
     | 508 views

    Brethren, let us open our hearts and minds to the Word of God this morning. We gather as the Church, the body of Christ, and it is crucial that we understand the structure and foundation upon which we are built. For without a firm foundation, no building can stand. And so it is with the Church.

    The Foundational Role of Apostles and Spiritual Gifts in the Church Introduction: Christ, the Cornerstone Brethren, let us open our hearts and minds to the Word of God this morning.

    Universality Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 11, 2003
    based on 23 ratings
     | 13,389 views

    Thanks to Constantine’s move, the church gradually began to think of its universality as power rather than as an evangelical mandate. Christ is to be lord of our political life, our cultural life, our everyday life -- every aspect.

    Christ is lord of all! What a bold statement! Maybe even an arrogant statement! Lord of all? Do we believe that? It was said of one preacher that “for tender minds he served up half a Christ.” Behind that lie two realities – first, that many of us don’t want the full gospel, we’d rather just ...read more

    We the church are given the task to share God’s party, to let the world know God rocks and we rock too, that they may RSVP to His party invite.
