  • A Safe Place To Come Close

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 4,399 views

    Humility and gentleness are keys for creating a church fellowship where people feel safe to come close to one another.

    Last week we started with the dilemma of two porcupines on a very cold night, who needed to snuggle up close to each other to stay warm. But the closer they got the more they pricked each other with their quills, so they pulled apart. But the more they pulled apart, the colder they got. So it ...read more

  • Bearing With One Another In Love

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 4,223 views

    All of us have needed to have people be patient with us when we were slow to grow and learn, working through a deep wound in our heart or just having a bad day. One of the best ways to help our churches and all their members is to learn to be patient with them, bearing with them in love.

    I don’t get to do it very often anymore, but I love fishing. I grew up near a muddy little lake where you could catch bullheads and bluegills almost any time you tried. But catching fish is only part of the joy. Two years ago we vacationed up in Minnesota. The first evening we went out to a ...read more

  • Maintaining God's Unity

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 4,975 views

    When God's church is unified in love, wonderful power flows. But too often the flow is blocked. We need to learn to maintain the unity that God provides for us.

    We lived for 7 years up in Winthrop Harbor, the Cornerstone of Illinois. Our house was 6 blocks from the Wisconsin border and about 2 miles from the Lake Michigan shoreline. We were maybe 5 miles from the Zion Nuclear Plant. We had several good friends who worked there. This week I’ve been ...read more

     | 3,482 views

    No one is useless in the church. The Holy Spirit gives everyone some gifting that they can contribute. The church needs you.

    This is a bit embarrassing to say, but I have this thing about doing the Tribune’s crossword puzzle each day, and I couldn’t finish Saturday’s and it’s bugging me. Maybe you can help me out. Then I can focus on our sermon text. Can you help me for a minute? I got most of it already. This should ...read more

  • Together We Grow Stronger Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 17,000 views

    In Christ our growth is specialized, supported and specific.

    TOGETHER WE GROW STRONGER I heard the story of a guy who went to a Raptors game. The tickets he got were terrible, upper level way in the back, so he could hardly see a thing. He noticed that there was an empty seat court side right in the center so he made his way down to the empty seat. When ...read more

  • "you Don't Have To Go To Church To Be A Christian" Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 7, 2019
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,243 views

    This common reason for not coming to church shows two fundamental misunderstandings: 1) what is a Christian and 2) what is church. Help someone see that being a Christian means being part of a church.

    People are not going to church as much as they used to. I could give you the statistics, but I don’t think that I need to because you’ve probably personally observed or experienced it yourself. You may have seen it with your own family members, your co-workers, your friends, in the conversations ...read more

  • The Church Is God's Team

    Contributed by Charles Mallory on Oct 11, 2019
     | 4,095 views

    United in Jesus Christ, all Christians are on the same team...God's team. We stand united in mission to the world through Jesus Christ regardless of what our denominational title may be or if we are Protestant, Orthodox or Catholic. We all proclaim and live out the commands of Jesus Christ.

    WITHIN EVERY HUMAN HEART LIES THE YEARNING TO BE LOVED, AFFIRMED, UNDERSTOOD, AND USEFUL. I BELIEVE THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE IN WHICH TO HAVE THESE DESIRES FULFILLED THAN WITHIN THE BODY OF CHRIST, THE CHURCH. THERE IS NO SAFER PLACE ON EARTH IN WHICH TO USE ONE’S GIFTS, TALENTS AND ABILITIES THAN ...read more

    The United Body of Christ

    THE ENIGMATIC CONCEPT OF SPIRITUAL UNITY EPHESIANS 4:1-3 The opening of chapter 4 marks the principal transition of the entire Epistle. As is his custom in other writings, Paul turns from the doctrinal to the practical. Paul recognizes the value of spiritual unity in the church because he had a ...read more

  • Blessed Are The Peacemakers Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on Feb 22, 2022
     | 1,467 views

    Our "default setting" seems to be to find ways NOT to be at peace. But Jesus tells us that God is pleased when we do.

    Friction points * Ex: [IMAGE of toilet paper rolls up and down] What’s the correct way to install the paper roll in the bathroom? * Silly, but it is an example of a situation where people can get into conflict with one another. * There are a lot more important friction points in life. They are ...read more

  • Living A Life Of Goodness And Peace And Joy In The Holy Spirit (How Christian Ought To Behave)

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 24, 2022
     | 3,833 views

    To preserve the unity and influence of the church, believers must offer mutual acceptance in non-essentials of the Christian faith. They should also resist the temptation to judge one another or condemn one another for what we believe about non-essentials tenets of the faith.

    Sermon “Living a Life of Goodness and Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit” Scripture Lesson: Romans 14:1-17 “Accept other believers who are weak in faith, and don’t argue with them about what they think is right or wrong. 2 For instance, one person believes it’s all right to eat anything. But another ...read more

  • Endeavoring To Keep The Unity

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 16, 2022
     | 1,481 views

    “The nearest thing to heaven on this earth is a church full of people who love the Lord, and each other.” I believe we all will concur with that statement.

    The Psalmist must have also felt this way, because he said in Psalm 133:1, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!” But if it is true that a church full of people who love the Lord and each other is the nearest thing to heaven on this earth, it must also be true ...read more

     | 6,596 views

    There is no organization more powerful than the Church—it is ordained in Christ and for His glory.

    Each week at the meeting of a local Rotary club, a different member gave a brief statement about his job. Eventually it was the minister’s turn; he stood up and said: "I'm with a global enterprise. We have branches in every country in the world. We have our representatives in nearly every ...read more
