I’d like a large ...read more

    Christians: God is for us, not against us!

    1. So is God for us or against us? Hmmm. 2. I know the answer in good times comes real easily, but in other times… we might just think God is against us somehow. NOTE: Some people read v31 and walk away thinking, “Well, God is for me in this situation. He’s not for me this time.” But what does ...read more

    Spiritual Amnesia (Alzheimer, dementia) is a sickness that makes us forget to say “thanks” to God: We Forget God’s Past Mercies; We Allow Present Troubles To Block Out God’s Love; We Forget The Promises Made; Forget Our Calling As Ambassadors, etc.

    Each one of us carries a story shaped by experiences, choices, and circumstances that often explain who we are. However, while our past may provide context, it cannot serve as an excuse for how we live today.

    The Inherited Church Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,736 views

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.

    “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete ...read more
