  • The Diversity Of Spiritual Gifts In Contributing Toward Unity Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 13, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,664 views

    We must make a distinction between “spiritual gifts” and natural abilities. When you were born into this world God gave you certain natural abilities, perhaps in mechanics, art, athletics, or music. In this regard, all men are not created equal . . .

  • The Body Of Christ – Part Iii Series

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016
     | 5,381 views

    As we unpack Ephesians chapter four, verses 7 through 12, we are going to answer some very important questions about Christ’s gifts to the church:

    Last time we learned that God has great regard for His Church. The church is the Body of Christ. Believers are the ecclesia, and are the “called out ones”. Christians are called out from the world, called out of darkness into the kingdom of God's dear Son. Jesus has a relationship ...read more

  • By Participating The Discipleship Of My Church Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Oct 20, 2015
     | 5,380 views

    Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were I.

    It is one of the most commonly used terms in the church and yet it may very well be one of the least understood concepts in all of Christianity. It is often viewed as some kind of standardized method, much like an assembly line, that is intended to keep churning out a standardized product. But ...read more

  • By Participating In The Ministry Of My Church Series

    Contributed by Pat Damiani on Oct 20, 2015
     | 5,617 views

    Jesus’ design for His church is that…every member is a minister.

    I know that many of you here this morning are really excited that football season is just around the corner. I know I’m looking forward to seeing how my favorite teams fare this season. As the season approaches, I’m reminded of how someone once described a football game: 22 men down on ...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
     | 8,190 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
     | 4,064 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

  • Apostles In The Church

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019
     | 2,101 views

    Does it ever feel like the church is timid, afraid to take on new challenges? When we have those feelings, it may be because we are missing an important ministry of the church: the ministry of apostle.

    Does it ever feel like the church never changes, or at least that if it does change, then the wheels of change turn very, very slowly? Does it ever feel like the church is timid, afraid to take on new challenges? Does it ever feel like the church is so busy just holding its own, surviving, that ...read more

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019
     | 3,805 views

    Churches that aren't clear on their purpose for being can hardly be effective. Our goal is maturity in Christ.

    One of the deepest joys that I have ever experienced in all my life is the joy of watching our children turn into adults. I guess I always pretty much figured that would happen some day. But then, there were those times when they were upset with each other over the silliest things and the ...read more

  • 2: Equipping The Saints Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019
     | 10,286 views

    Some people are content for church to be a spectator sport. But church works best when everyone gets out of the stands and gets into the game of ministry.

    Would all the ministers of the church please raise their hands? You all know I’m the minister with my name on the sign. Are there any other ministers? I see hands going up. Let’s see some more. Let’s see more and more until every hand is up. If you are in God’s family, you are called to be a ...read more

  • 3: Building Up The Church Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019
     | 6,278 views

    Do you neglect your soul all week, then come to church, expecting to be filled up? Or do you nourish your soul all week and come to build up others?

    The Bible is full of different images to try to explain what the church is like and how it works. For example, the Apostle Paul often talks about the church as a building. But he didn’t mean a building made of wood or brick or stone. He meant a figurative building in which the members of the ...read more

  • 3: The Church Is A Living Body Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019
     | 3,496 views

    We need to rise above seeing the church as an institution and see the warm heart of love that really makes us the church

    We are continuing in one of the Bible’s most comprehensive pictures of the church, a picture of a church that will meet many of the deepest longings in our hearts for rich and deep relationships, but a joyful and effective church. And there is so much in it to build that it takes a while to do ...read more

    Our culture suffers from profound loneliness, but God calls us into a church family with rich relationships.

    You’ve heard me talk about my days of playing basketball years ago. I was never a star, but I had a lot of fun. There could be several reasons that I was never a star. There were a couple of minor problems, like I wasn’t especially good at either shooting or dribbling a ball. But another ...read more

  • 5: Speaking The Truth In Love Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 25, 2019
     | 3,247 views

    Churches can become deeply dishonest as we fear to talk about the deepest longings and pains in our hearts. We grow when we dare to be honest together.

    Back in 1997 a Jim Carey movie came out called Liar, Liar. Carey plays the title role. He is an attorney, a very successful attorney. But the movie opens with his little boy at school on the day when the children are giving reports on what their fathers do, and his son announces, “My daddy’s a ...read more

  • Speaking (And Hearing) The Truth In Love Series

    It can be scary to be really honest with one another. Here are some guidelines to help us get started.

    Two summers ago Kathy and I headed to northern Wisconsin for a vacation week. One of our stops was a day of white water rafting on the Wolf River. It was late in the season and the water was low, so it wasn’t as fast and splashy as the springtime might be. But the low water brought another ...read more
