    Living As The Church

    Contributed by Mark Engler on Jan 23, 2015
     | 5,386 views

    We can't be the church as individuals, yet in the American church today many have the mentality of being lone rangers. If we are going to be the church that God intended we must be committed to the church and to each other.

    Living As The Church Ephesians 4:1-16 INTRO: Have you ever read the Gospels and looked for the church? If you haven’t you should try it sometime. But I can tell you that you will not find much about church in the Gospels. Mark, Luke, and John don’t even mention the church and the ...read more

    7 Things The Cross Of Calvary Provided For Us

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Oct 31, 2022
     | 6,680 views

    Understand the cross does not refer to an ornament hanging around your neck. It is not an emblem seen on a church steeple. It is not the crucifix with some portrayal of Jesus on it. It doesn’t indicate that you are a Christian nor does it guarantee that you are on your way to heaven.

    7 Things the Cross of Calvary provided for us By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - I don’t normally wear a cross but several years ago when I was pastoring in Columbus, I had real nice cross that was part of my installation as pastor dress. I wore that cross on one Sunday and I had this ...read more

    Paul sat at the feet of Gamaliel and other great teachers of that day. But he learned far more from the UNIVERSITY OF HARD KNOCKS, for there he sat under God’s great teaching.
