Build The Church By Being The Church

Contributed by Paul Woodhouse on Aug 16, 2022

Nehemiah has notable character strengths which enabled the Jews to deal with conflict and injustice among them.

There exists a direct correlation between the effectiveness of our mission and how we treat one another as God’s people. We must be the church before we can build the church. We must care for one another before we can hope to reach our neighborhood, this city, the world. *No one is going to ...read more

The Corrupted Church (Church Of Pergamos)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 16, 2025

Letter To The Laodicea Congregation Series

Contributed by Scott Coltrain on May 24, 2015

A congregation that is not actively benefitting and transforming the culture in which it finds itself, it is sickening to Jesus, the Head of the Church. Jesus condemns the Laodicean 'Health & Wealth Gospel' which is promoted by modern-day televangelists.

Verse 14 – Jesus introduces Himself to the congregation at Laodicea by three titles: (1) “The Amen” which is a reminder that the Lord – by His death on the Cross – is the living confirmation of the New Covenant with its promises. 2 Corinthians 1:19-20, “For ...read more
