    Corinth is a church with great resources, both material and spiritual, but it’s also a church with great responsibilities. It needs to recognise that it’s part of a world wide church and express that membership materially. And it needs to be on guard agai

    We tend to think of the world today as shrinking, getting smaller and smaller. For example, last week, Di and I boarded a plane in Melbourne and 2 hours later we were throwing off our jumpers and getting ready for a swim in the pool at Noosa.

     | 13,766 views

    There is no salvation in prophets, apostles, priests, pastors, ministers, or any religious leaders but only in Jesus Christ. You may boast of your fine church buildings, large membership; be active in religious and charitable work, but all these are power

    Intro: At certain seasons of the year, we find many religious celebrations being conducted. We find that the natural man wants to be religious. He will often do many pious things in hope that he is performing an act of worship and service to the Lord. But God in His word teaches that religion is ...read more

    Apocalypse Of The Church

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Jan 25, 2022
     | 997 views

    The apocalypse described in Mark's Gospel can be viewed as a prophecy that can occur today! Churches need to stop the bleeding loss of membership before it is too late. Christ's love will make that change.

    Apocalypse of the Church Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz Mark 13:14-23 14 “But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains. 15 “aThe one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in ...read more

    The church is an organization that will have a similar life cycle as any living person. Is it possible that some churches need to die so new church's are born? Is your church fulfilling the spiritual needs of its membership.

    The New Church Mark 13:28-32 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz 28 “Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near. 29 “Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at ...read more

    Apart from Christ it is impossible to live the Christian life - but with his strength we are empowered to carry on in the face of a hostile world.

    "I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear - is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies on the field of battle exhausted - victorious."

    The Spirit of God, as the breath of God, brings us to life, empowers us for the works of ministry, and points to Jesus as the Son of God.

     | 8,074 views

    An encounter with Christ is essential for true faith to take shape. Our encounter with the world is then empowered by the Christ we meet at the table.

    I made the point last week that poor ole doubting Thomas should not be singled out as the only disciple who had doubts about this new “resurrected” reality.
