    Menno Simons was a contemporary with Martin Luther, who seems to have taken all the credit for the reformation. But where Martin Luther failed in his reformation, Menno Simons didn’t.

    This is the first of three sermons composed directly from Wayne Schmidt's book "Ministry Velocity: The Power for Leadership Momentum." The messages were related to our church's purchase of a new building, moving out of a rented facility.

    One fundamental thing that contributed to the enlargement of the early church both spiritually and physically which cannot be downplayed is that they were TOGETHER. They were together as a strong team.

    Introduction The church is very important to God. Acts 20:28 tells us that He bought the church with his own blood. God made a huge sacrifice to bring the church into being.

    Is our church focussed on what it's members prefer? Or we are fishers of people who get out of bed on a cold dark night because that is what fish prefer?

    “To say that the room was tense would be a massive understatement. It was eight years before the death of the church, but few in that room could have predicted the church’s demise. The church had bounced back a bit during the past year. Since most of the members would not allow any {change to the ...read more

    Colossians 1:24-29 teaches us that God has called each believer to a specific ministry in the church, and it is through our willing participation in Christ’s work in us that we can effectively minister to others.

    Introduction What should ministry to the church look like today? We are currently studying Paul’s letter to the Colossians in a series I am calling, “The Peerless Christ.” A man by the name of Epaphras had most likely been converted under Paul’s three-year ministry in Ephesus from 52 to 55 ...read more

    Should there be anything said about politics from the pulpit? I submit that there is a point where church and state come together...

    I am not a politician and have not been called to be a politician. I’m glad that some people do feel a calling to take on those responsibilities, but I’m also glad that it’s not me. I am, however, a preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ and have a strong calling on my life to preach that gospel. ...read more

    The Need Of The Church Series

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Feb 8, 2020
     | 4,167 views

    If you sat down and asked what does the church need today, what would be your answer? A lot of times we think of the material things, but God is more interested in the people that make up the church. What are the needs of the people? I hope to answer that question for us all.

    The 2nd and 3rd chapters of Revelation, tell us of real churches in real places. These churches also are representative of different ages of church history. The Laodicean church is a description of this church age. The church that is neither cold nor hot. A church that was rich and said it had need ...read more
