    This message deals with the rapture of the church; when is it? Where do we go? What happens to us? What will we do afterward?

    Turn with me to 1.Corinthians 15:51-58. Today, we will take up a topic which was recommended to me by a member of this church. Now some preachers do not like for members to recommend sermon topics to them, but I do. I may not preach them all, but I will prayerfully consider any topic that any of ...read more

    Do we really make a difference in this world? Has the church become insignificant today? Churches have a high calling to honor God in their attitudes and actions.

    Hebrews 10:23-25 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so ...read more

    How God can use the local church to change the world.

    100 million in U.S. don’t go to church at all. 2050 – 10% will attend! My grandkids generation… Instead of spending our time on what the church has become, let’s look at what it’s supposed to be.

  • Miracles In The Church? Series

    Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Sep 5, 2011
     | 5,125 views

    Prayer is a commitment to the will of God...and all true prayer shows the depth of it's faith by patiently waiting to see what He has determined to do. The unqualified statement that the prayer of faith will save the sick stands right alongside the many o

    HoHum: It’s popular today to meet with friends at a coffee shop and call it “church.” In some cases it is but most of the time it isn’t. It’s difficult to stand in defense of the church when there are so many examples of dysfunctional churches around us. But ...read more

  • We Are The Church Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,959 views

    In the Bible “church” is by definition either all of the disciples of Jesus Christ or a specific group of believers. In 1 Timothy chapter 5, The Apostle Paul describes the church as people dedicated to doing whatever it takes to reach out and help others

    We continue in our series Hope Found Here, and this month our focus is on Hope in the Church. Many people associate the word “church” with a building. Often something old, draughty, with uncomfortable wooden pews and a smell of damp. I have spoken to people in Ashingdon and Rayleigh who did not ...read more

  • Is Official/Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture? – Part 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 7, 2025
     | 130 views

    This is the final part and we look at a numbers of issues here as well as two statements from Internet sites on why membership is important. Over and over I am opposing this notion that commitment is connected with official membership. It is judgemental and untrue. I hope this is of some value.

    IS OFFICIAL/FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE? – PART 4 We have been looking at some passages of scripture from Paul’s writings and in vain, do we look for even the slightest suggestion that a church has official membership that discriminates among the Christians ...read more

    Jesus called the temple a "House of Prayer". Is the church a house of prayer today? Do we believe prayer is still powerful? Nothing is more powerful than a church that prays together.

    “A Praying Church” Acts 4:23-31 May 17, 2009 Today I would like to share with you about what is probably the most important activity of each Christian and the church as whole, prayer. I know for a fact that some Christians only pray at meal times and it’s often a repetitive, shallow one. Maybe ...read more
