     | 5,143 views

    If the church is going to promote abundant life and begin attracting people, it must become more than just a physical structure. It must be seen as a house, or rather, a home. It must become a place where people feel safe and secure.

    There was once a story in the Oregonian, Portland’s morning newspaper, of a man who had helped construct a Roman Catholic Church in Mexico. He used inferior materials in order to make more money. At the dedication of the building, the roof collapsed, killing many of the worshipers including the ...read more

    Epaphras is mentioned three times in the Bible. Yet his life of service is what every minister of God should emulate.

     | 3,379 views

    How can we accomplish this? We can accomplish this by allowing God to occupy the first place in our life. We can accomplish this when we learn to rest in the love, mercy and glory of the Lord. We can accomplish this when we build upon God’s truth.

    How many of you have ever heard the term “time share”? I really don’t know who came up with this concept, but what I can tell you is that he/she must have become a multimillionaire. I say this because the term: “time share” means to buy a space of time in an ...read more

    The gospel is God’s power to save men. We have the most powerful weapon against sin and its power. We have to spread the gospel for others to experience God’s power by believing in it.

    INTRODUCTION Oppositions to the Gospel may hinder our obedience or service. We may think that we cannot go on because the opposition is too much for us to handle. It will make us suffer more. But let these words from God strengthen us. I. THE GOSPEL IS POWERFUL, 8-9(Cf. Romans ...read more
