    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Jun 1, 2010

     | 28,726 views

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

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.

    What's The Difference?

    Contributed by Tree Perkins on Sep 5, 2020
     | 3,074 views

    We've been taught since Sunday school that Jesus is with us and we carry Him in our heart. But Matthew 18:20 tells us that where two or three are gathered, Jesus will be among them. So what makes verse 20 different?

    The last verse in our scripture reading today is my number one all-time favorite verse in the entire Bible. Verse 20 has brought me comfort over the years. Even though verse 20 is my favorite, it’s important to consider verse 19 as it sets the tone for the purpose of gathering in prayer. In vs. 19 ...read more

    This is the first message in a series entitled Reimagining Evangelism. This message looks at how the often asks for us to do things that do not make any sense.
