     | 5,932 views

    A Wednesday evening devotion which teaches us from the 1st Century church in Jerusalem, we can discern some of what it means to be a Spiritual Congregation.

    The Characteristics of a Spiritual Church Acts 5:12-16 * One of the most sobering passages in all of New Testament scripture (at least for me) is found in Acts 5:1-11. To remind you, this is the story of Ananias and Sapphira. When they lied about their gifts to the church, they were struck down ...read more

    This is the picture of the Church of Jesus Christ as it stands today. It is certainly the picture of the church in the last days. We have moved in our study from the days of the Apostles to the days of the Apostasy.

    Revelation 3:14-22 Message to the church of the Laodiceans 1/8/2023 Always remember that these letters to the churches can be viewed from three perspectives. 1.) Practically – These are real letters to real churches with real problems. 2.) Prophetically – These letters portray the ...read more

    Marks Of The Faithful Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,101 views

    With what God has entrusted to us, are we faithful not only as individuals but as a church toward God. Are we willing to faithfully pursue Him and walk with Him no matter what! God put the church in the world; Satan tries to put the world in the church. Be faithful!

    Opening illustration: I wonder what Christ or even the apostle Paul would say if they were to visit our churches today. What a beehive of activity! Committees, programs, entertainment without end. But worship is often downplayed, services are cut back, prayer meetings are eliminated. Some call ...read more
