     | 5,268 views

    The missing component of the contemporary church may well be discipline. The message explores the purpose and implementation of discipline in the church.

    “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he ...read more

    The Dead Church Revelation 3:1-6 Have you ever heard of the company that makes blank bumper stickers? They’re for people who don’t want to get involved and do not want to offend anyone.

  • Injustice In The Church Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Jul 5, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 13,118 views

    Why is the Church so guilty of injustice and does it rule out faith in God as a valid life choice?

    This is a series based on and heavily dependent on Timothy Keller’s Best Seller "The Reason For God" for which I’m deeply grateful. It uses much of his argument though with various additions by myself or the other preachers of the series. I’m going to begin today with a short ...read more

  • The Comfortable Church Series

    Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on Sep 3, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,920 views

    The church at Sardis had become arrogant and thus comfortable with their ’church.’ The result was compacency, apathy, and death. This should be a warning for churches today.

    The Comfortable Church Revelation 3:1-6 * Having read about this church and preached this text many times, I have labored over the proper name for this church. Terms like dead, decaying, or dying, as well as confused, contented, or cozy, were tops on my list. However, comfortable is the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 10,704 views

    The Church at Laodicea is a church termed "Lukewarm" by our Lord - and obviously shows the signs of "Complacency". Many a congregation have fallen into this trap.

    The Complacent Church Revelation 3:14-19 * The story is told of a preacher going to his deacon chairman and asking, “Do you think the problems we face in the church is tied to ignorance & apathy?” After a moment the man replied, “I don’t know & I don’t care.” * Today we look at the church in ...read more

     | 7,166 views

    The church at Ephesus had much going to it and only one thing going against it - that thing was THE THING...It was now backslidden.

    The Backslidden Church Revelation 2:1-7 * Today we begin ‘Part 2’ of the Revelation. Chapter 1 constitutes Part 1 of this book because it highlights the things which “have been.” Chapter 2 begins with the things which are. While we “THINK” it will be a good thing to get to the present-day ...read more

  • Marriage And The Church

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Nov 11, 2015
     | 3,752 views

    The traditional vows between a man and a woman at the time of marriage are beautiful and full of self abandonment and commitment. We who are in the Church, are there because of a mutual commitment between Christ and ourselves, like marriage.

    Marriage - what a wonderful creation of God! Just yesterday Pastor Karenlee and I were privileged to perform a marriage ceremony for two of our friends who live in Rochester! May the Lord bless their union and their lives. Jesus Himself believed in marriage. Listen to what He told the Pharisees ...read more

  • Church Buildings?

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Aug 9, 2022
     | 1,970 views

    What lessons beside who is my neighbor can be found in the Woman at the Well narrative? Actually, quite a bit. This lesson is that Jesus was not in favor of a centralized building for worship. This restricted the LORD who was spirit and existed everywhere.

    Church Buildings? John 4:7-42 Rev. Dr. Michael H. Koplitz New American Standard 1995 John 4:7 There *came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus *said to her, “Give Me a drink.” 8 For His adisciples had gone away into bthe city to buy food. 9 Therefore the aSamaritan woman *said to Him, “How is ...read more
