    This sermon explores why God gives us gifts and how we should perceive them in our lives

    The Bible speaks of the church as the Body of Christ for a reason, but most believers fail to celebrate their unique place in the body.

    The ancient Romans had an aphorism that went “Mens sana in corpore sanos.” It means, “A healthy mind in a healthy body.” The ancients were quite correct that the two go together. The mind directs the body. It may do it on a subconscious or even unconscious level, but without signals from the brain, ...read more

    If a church is to grow, it must have gifted leadership and a committed membership.

    It has been said that the same law which God has instituted in nature which declares that healthy living things will grow naturally, applies to the growth of the local church. Since the church is an organism, rather than an organization, if it can maintain its spiritual health and vitality, it will ...read more

    What are the biblical characteristics of a growing church?

    Last time, as we focused on verses 11 and 12, we made note of the two essentials of church growth - gifted leadership (v. 11) and committed membership (v. 12). A church will never rise higher than the skills of the leadership and will go no farther than the commitment of the membership. Gifted ...read more

    Are leaders discipling or just serving desserts at Church? Are Christians studying or parroting?

    One of the churches in the area has been having some consternation and fear about the effect of one member’s viewpoint on the new converts or "baby Christians."

    Delivered in 1986, shortly after pastoral call. The Spirit gives us unity in a time of riskiness and danger. That gift is more than unanimity; it is dedication to God's purposes.
