    Using the metaphor of a body, I believe that for this church to function properly as Christ would have it function, as well as each us individually, there are certain body parts that ALL of us must possess.

    WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST NEEDS I CORINTHIANS 12:12-18 INTRODUCTION: Throughout the New Testament the church is likened to a physical body made up of many members each functioning in a different capacity but all being part of the same unity and working together for the proper functioning and benefit ...read more

    Jesus had to die so we could live…we have to die so He can live through us so others can have life!!! Seems painful, but it’s oh so true. The way we think, the way we think it ought to happen and what the Word of God says is completely opposite.

    "ARE YOU DEAD YET???” - John 12:24 - "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much." I’ll make it plain…Jesus had to die so we could live…we have to die so He can live through us so others can ...read more

    Just as Josiah discovered God’s Word and demanded to know what it said in order to follow it. So too, today, are we as a church of God expected to discover God’s Word in this house and make it the only Rule of our Faith and Practice.
