    A Church Full of Deacons Acts 6:1-6 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/ChurchFullOfDeacons.html It’s a shame that if I were to ask what are the two offices in the church, somebody would say, "I know, Jerry’s and Jeremy’s."

    This sermon focuses on the role of the faithlessness church and the faithfulness church. Its loyalty to the Lord, Jesus Christ is relevant for salvation.

    Many times in the Bible when a certain woman is talked about, she is often a type and a shadow of the church. In Luke chapter 15 we find the woman who had ten coins. We find in her a picture of the church. She began lighting the light, cleaning the house, and searching diligently for that which is ...read more

    God has established the theocratic pattern of government for His people. In every case where man allowed God to govern as He saw fit, there was peace, prosperity, and stability among the people of God.

    The Purpose of the Local Church Hebrews 10:24-25 - 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 much the more as you see the Day approaching.

    The Responsibility Of Elders In The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Aug 25, 2006

     | 4,743 views

    In the Scriptures, Pastors are referred to as "bishop, elder, and overseer." Why are they referred to in this way. In this message, Pastor Steve will examine these and more terms as he talks about the responsibility of elders in the church.

    We have completed our look at what elders are to be and now we’re looking at what elders are to do. In doing that, I would like to define the term that is found in 1 Timothy 3:1. It is the term translated "bishop." The term "bishop" is not a good translation because "it carries modern ...read more

    Fully following followers of God express God’s love like Jonathan did with David.

    I begin this morning with a question, “Who would you call your best friend?” For some of us, it is our spouse. For others of us, a sibling is our best friend.
