The Message Of The Church Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Sep 4, 2019

Having shared much in regard to establishing a firm foundation for the church, Paul emphasized the priority of the church - sharing the Gospel, above all else. Grace brings salvation, and then enables us to live for Christ. Transformed lives are the goal of the church.

He had instructed him to ordain elders in every city, those who would be able to aid in the leadership and ministry of the church. ...read more

I know of few places of greater comfort in a time of loss than Jesus on the cross. Let me show you why this. Today’s Scripture Two others, who were ...read more

This message was presented at the Memorial Service for my father-in-law, Sam Moore. He was an accomplished artist and a dedicated follower of Jesus Christ.
