    BACK TO THE BASICS Deut. 1:19-46 / Acts 15 * Most all of us remember the story of the Children of Israel and their Exodus from Egyptian Captivity.

    Rebuke those you love.

    In 2 Timothy 4:2 the Apostle Paul tells Timothy to "Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, Rebuke, Exhort, with all long suffering and reaching."

    Harmless

    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,205 views

    The one mark that Christ said would distinguish His followers is the love they have for each other. We have shown a different picture. As a church we must stop hurting each other. We must learn to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

    Harmless Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Introduction: The one mark that Christ said would distinguish His followers is the love they have for each other (John 13:35).

    Heart Bypass (1986)

     | 2,787 views

    We are divided over whether to invest more in charity or more in the church program. A key element must be the compassion that gives from the core of our beings.

    It seems as though just about once a week someone will phone from one of the charity agencies -- the Purple Heart, the Good Will, the Disabled Veterans -- and I always know when they are calling, because they will ask for Mrs. Smith. Nobody asks for Mrs. Smith when they could ask for Margaret ...read more

    "Why Church Membership?”

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 1, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 28,852 views

    Is church membership a biblical idea? Why should one identify themselves with a local body of believers?

    There was a time when the role of the pastor and the place of the church were respected. A pastor was a person who was held in high esteem in the community just by virtue of his position, and the church was seem as an institution to respect. Those days, however, are gone. The church has fallen on ...read more

    The church in Thyatira demonstrates the need to follow the ways of Jesus in order to prevent being deceived.

    In our culture, I think there is sometimes a tendency for us to look around at all the mega churches, even some right around us, and to begin to think that a smaller church like TFC really isn’t all that significant to the kingdom of God. But Jesus’ message to the church in Thyatira ...read more

     | 7,993 views

    As the church, we can model the love of Jesus as we love and accept people. Or we can be exclusive in our love and forfeit our calling to be an authentic church.

    That Others Might Hear

     | 8,822 views

    God tells Israel as He works within them He expects them to conduct themselves in such a way that others will hear that God is with them. I believe what God told Israel is wise advice to us. If we follow these words we'll be a source of blessing.

    That Others Might Hear Zechariah 8:15-23 Introduction: Do we want to be blessed by God and to be used by God to be a blessing to others? I believe that God wants to do good to us, to use us and prosper this church. However, I believe that for us to receive the fullness of His blessings and to have ...read more
