    We have folks today who actually seem shocked that God’s church has problems.

    For example, some are shocked that the members of a church act less than perfect. Listen, I am shocked that they are shocked!

You may recall when I started the series I said that there were basically three aspects that help give definition to the church. I said the church was Christ initiated.

     | 11,421 views

    The Lord had three things to commend this church for, but the rebuke brought focus to the very real problem of loosing your love for Christ.

    As I believe the Lord is leading, it is imperative for us to consider exactly what type of church Jesus desires to have.

    A message from Acts 1 that reveals 4 things the church needs if it is to be a New Testament Church.

    Being The Church! Acts 1:1-11 I loved Miss Patrick. She was from Somerset, Kentucky and she was my third grade teacher. She was awesome because she introduced us to some exciting literature.
