    LIVING IN THE WORLD 1 Peter 2:11-25 1 Peter 2:11-12 It should be no surprise to Christians that we are one of the main reasons lost people have no interest in Jesus Christ and the fact that He can save them. Why is this true? It is because of the way we live our lives in front of the world. ...read more

Those who mostly brag on what has been done, in the past; 3. Those who don’t care one way or the other. Some believe God demands ...read more

    There are many types of churches today. Some are doing great things for God. Others...well, they just need to be reminded of their purpose. This message is a challenge to churches of all denominations to refocus upon what God has called them to do.

    What Kind of Church Do You Want? Mark 2:1-12 I. A Museum? A lot of old relics lying around—You can look, but don’t touch. Many of these relics have never been moved in 30 years.

    ONE OF THE GREATEST ABUSES OF TITLES TODAY IS "CHRISTIAN." TOO MANY PEOPLE ARE USING THIS TITLE AS IF IT WERE ONLY A SUMMATION OF THEIR LIVES AS BEING A GOOD, DECENT, CHURCH-GOING, LAW-ABIDING CITIZEN. CHRISTIANITY IS NOT A "TITLE" TO BE ABUSED OR USED AS LEVERAGE. A CHRISTIAN IS WHAT ONE BECOMES ...read more
