     | 21,275 views

    The New Testament clearly demonstrates that there is one and only one Church that was founded by the Lord Jesus Christ.

    I want to talk to you tonight about the Church. However, before I get into that, I want to share a little bit about where I come from. I was born and raised in the United Methodist Church. I’ve spent some time kneeling with Baptists. I’ve played guitar with the Pentecostals. I’ve preached in ...read more

    A fishing adventure is always better when you share the journey. This lesson is about partnering with your church in this adventure.

    Never Fish Alone Discussion Starter: We were all fish before becoming a “fisher of men”. Someone shared the message of Jesus Christ with us. Christ has called us to be His voice to a lost world. We have a clear message that must be told. A fishing adventure is always better when you share the ...read more

    Examines the purpose of the church and believer’s individual responsibility.

    THE DESIGN AND FUNCTION OF THE CHURCH - Matthew 16:13-20 In preparation for this message, I did a study and found that the first time the word “church” is used in the Bible is in the passage we just read.

    Our Lord has a way of cutting right through the fluff and getting straight to what is important. Peter was really set up to answer this question. It is the most important question any of us could ever be asked, as well.

    Matthew 16:13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?’’ 14. So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.’’ 15. He said to them, "But who do you say ...read more

    Many people read the Bible and read of Bible characters and stand in awe of what they could do and how they could live. We must never forget that people like Peter, were real people, with real problems, simply living their faith.

    Introduction Just about every kid has a period in their lives where they love superheroes. The kids idolize the superheroes ability to do the impossible, to fly, their incredible strength or their x-ray vision. When I was growing up, I loved superman. I wanted to be just like superman.

    Equal In Dignity, Diverse In Function Series

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 21, 2009

     | 3,877 views

    In our worship, we are all equal in dignity, but, as Jesus gave different ministries to his disciples, in and out of worship, we differ in function and service; that is the meaning of hierarchy.

    Solemnity of Peter and Paul June 29, 2009 The readings for this solemnity help us to understand how it is that Christ left us–as a gift–a hierarchical Church. I was reading some fairly recent articles in Pastoral Music recently, and came across a rather angry one from a nun who was complaining ...read more
