    Deterrents To Church Growth

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 10, 2020
     | 4,805 views

    What is church in the business of doing? Are we suppose to grow? Whose fault is it if we don't? I hope to answer some of these questions for us.

    I’m sure most of us can recall great stirring sermons that have helped and motivated us on the subject of church growth. There are many aspects to growth, such as soul winning, being a good witness for Christ. If a church is going to grow it also needs a healthy membership that will follow the ...read more

    The whole earth maybe covered in darkness but who says you have to be wrapped in the darkness. Get up and pray, get up and study the Word, get into real fellowship with the Light and God’s sunrise glory will cover you.

    Introduction Isaiah Receives a Revelation of Darkness The book of Isaiah is a very important book in the Old Testament. It is a book full of prophecies, revelations and glimpses of Jesus Christ hundreds of years before Jesus came to the earth. For example in Isaiah 9:1-7, the birth of Jesus is ...read more

    This sermon addresses the question "How do we get into the family of God?"

    I don’t know about you but as the list of names were read today from Matthew, I was a little bored. I noticed some of you were too.

    Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022
     | 2,012 views

    This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

    As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more

     | 12,687 views

    Many times, we get no further than the doorway, and when we get further, we do nothing in the hallway. God is calling on us to quit standing in the doorway and stop doing nothing in the hallway. Our transformation occurs in the hallway. Transition!

    As I attempted, throughout the week, to begin practicing the Spiritual Discipline of Silence, I found it very difficult; I failed more than I succeeded. On each occasion, I found myself choosing to remain in the "on the go" lifestyle that has become so familiar to me. I found myself planning to ...read more
