    An Inspired Description Of The Church

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020
     | 2,483 views

    In these verses of scripture, we have an authentic description of the true church of God. This is what God, Himself, says about the church. On every hand today the church and the very use of the word “church” is misunderstood.

    Reihold Niebuhr said this about the church, “The church is a lot like Noah’s ark, if it weren’t for the storm on the outside, you could not stand the stink on the inside.” True of many churches today, I don’t know of any time when the church has made more racket and been less effective in the world ...read more

    Star Gazers Or Earth Shakers?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 9, 2020
     | 4,997 views

    When Jesus ascended, the apostles kept staring up at the clouds -- even after He was out of sight. Two angels felt it necessary to reprimand them and get them moving toward their true mission, the saving of lost souls. This message will nudge you to that!

    STAR GAZERS OR EARTH SHAKERS? Acts 1:6-11 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR A family had a reunion on a Saturday in California. On Sunday they all went to church. During the opening hymn, an earthquake hit. The building shook, the overhead lights swung back & forth. In true California style, they never ...read more

    What If

     | 1,745 views

    Non-denominationalism only divided us more then we ever were before. If satan's kingdom cannot stand if divided against itself how can the House of God stand when we are so divided? We say we are one Body, but we look like a body hit by an explosion.

    Mark 3:24  And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.  25  And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.  1 Corinthians 12:12  For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, ...read more

    Introduction I am sure you are aware of the parallel between the four gospels and the four living creatures in the vision of Ezekiel. You know: the Lion, symbolizing his supremacy and kingship; the Man, symbolizing the highest of intelligence; the Ox, for his lowly service, (a symbol which we like ...read more

    Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Jan 20, 2022
     | 1,945 views

    The home coming of Jesus is similar to a 25th or 50th class reunion. Old playmates wanted demonstrations in their village, not the message of salvation. Leonard Sweet said: “Jesus is on earth today but not as an individual. He is here in the form of the “ekklesia”, the church.
