    God is the one who gives our lives purpose. We find that purpose through Jesus Christ by loving God, loving others, and helping people follow Him. We do this both on our own and together as a church, with the help of the Holy Spirit, who helps us become more like Christ.

    The Purpose of Our Life and the Purpose of the Church. I. What is our life purpose? If you believe God is the creator of your life, you are not the one who defines your purpose or discovers or creates your purpose. God is the one who defines your purpose. His command reveals His purpose for ...read more

     | 15,161 views

    Satan’s aim is to destroy our faith and to destroy our church. If he can destroy our faith, then we’ll destroy our church for him. And if he destroys the church, our faith will follow.

    The Devil goes to church … did you know that? He has his favorite pew. He has his favorite hymns. He loves to see a church stuck in a rut because that’s a dying church. He loves a divided church because constant conflict keeps the church distracted from what it’s supposed to be doing. He’s ...read more

    In the upcoming years, the body of Christ will face many changes that are ordained by God. These changes will bring division and strife to the body of Christ, but they are essential for its purifying.

    In the upcoming years, the body of Christ will face many changes that are ordained by God. These changes will come after God informs His Church about them; for “Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). These changes will ...read more

    based on 21 ratings
     | 14,698 views

    Whether or not a church has a God-given vision for how it is to partner with God in its work is eternally important.

Most Christians are familiar with the quote from the KJV: “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The translation in the NIV gives us insight as to why people with no vision perish: “Where there is no revelation, ...read more

     | 7,499 views

    This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

    As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more
