    When we look for a church to attend and to make it our home church, we wants something that feels right; a place that we are made to feel comfortable.

    Introduction When we look for a church to attend and to make it our home church, we wants something that feels right; a place that we are made to feel comfortable. And what we are saying to ourselves is that we want a place where the people are more like us than different from us. Think about it. ...read more

    I was at one of those stores where you have to have a membership card to get in. The store will remain nameless, but you have to pay $35 a year or so to get into the store to then buy their items, which are said to be a great deal. Now you really still need to check what you are buying because ...read more

    based on 15 ratings
     | 5,146 views

    Many Christians are AWOL today in their faithfulness to Christ’s church because they have bought into the lie that church is not really that important.

    Series: Lies Satan Tells Lie: CHURCH IS NOT REALLY THAT IMPORTANT Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

    Is Your Church A Cruise-Ship Or A Battleship?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 5, 2011
    based on 5 ratings
     | 16,901 views

    Which image better describes a church? Your church? I know, it’s a metaphor. All metaphors break down at some point. When making a choice, our natural inclination is to choose the cruise ship over the battleship any day.

    Opening illustration: watch an illustrative audio-video clip Introduction: On the surface we would believe that the early church in Acts was blessed with outstanding growth due to the anointed preaching of the apostles; their balanced practices that would evolve into much of our church programming ...read more

    Jesus, Mad, Monster, Or Master? Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 23, 2015
     | 6,780 views

    How do you respond to Jesus? Like the Pharisees who want everything to be neat and tidy within clearly defined parameters? Like Jesus’ family who are embarrassed by him and doubt him? Or like those who followed him, even at the risk of their lives?

    How much is too much? I’m not thinking about chocolate here. That’s an easy one. No, I’m thinking about ministry effort. When do you say enough is enough? Is it OK to say “I’ve done my 40 hours this week; now I’m going to stop and have a rest”? Or should ...read more

    An Offer You Can't Refuse.

    Contributed by Roger Whipp on Dec 31, 2014
     | 4,404 views

    How does our Christian journey match up to St. Paul's? Comparisons between how we prepare for a automobile journey and lif'e's joureney. Jesus is superior to any recovery or rescue service on offer!

    An Offer you Can’t Refuse? Acts 9 v1-25 I don’t know what criteria the vicar uses to allocate preaching slots, as I seem to get more evenings, I assume part of his strategy is to make sure I help swell the smaller number of attenders in the evening! However I am delighted to be able ...read more
