  • There Must Be Factions?

    Contributed by Chris Thron on Oct 18, 2000
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,740 views

    Many doctrinal disputes within the Body of Christ are simply due to different uses of words.

    For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and I partly believe it. For there must be also factions among you, that they that are approved may be made manifest among you. (1 Cor. 11:18-19, ASV) Controversies over Bible interpretation often cause ...read more

    An incomprehensive study on the ’one another’ verses. Part 3

    I want to draw your attention to something most of us would never, otherwise, pause to consider very carefully...something that, in a way, we take for granted. Bearing another person’s burdens. Think about this. When a man sees a woman carrying something, it is considered gentlemanly for him ...read more

  • Building Up One Another Series

    based on 51 ratings
     | 15,215 views

    An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 1

    This sermon is our first installment in a seven-part study on what I’ve referred to as the ‘one another’ verses. These seven sermons do not represent a comprehensive coverage of the verses in the New Testament that address our relationship to one another as believers in Christ; but they will ...read more

  • Encouraging One Another Series

    based on 86 ratings
     | 9,338 views

    An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 6

    This word that is translated, “encourage” in some translations and “exhort” in others, requires some special attention before we get started. It is ‘parakaleo’. Now, I am not a student of the Biblical languages. But my resources tell me that this word comes from the same root word that ...read more

  • Confessing To One Another Series

    based on 79 ratings
     | 8,340 views

    An incomprehensive study of the 'one another' verses. Part 7

    When I chose this topic as the final installment of our study on the ‘one another’ verses, it was chosen as last only by virtue of where it fell in the New Testament. The first one, “Building Up One Another” was from Romans 14, and each sermon after that has come in order of the epistles ...read more

  • Whose Side Are You On?

    based on 144 ratings
     | 14,279 views

    A true unity in the Lord is something we must never take for granted, and something for which we ought always to pray and work

    A few weeks ago another pastor told me, "Dan, things are not going the best at my church. It seems there is always controversy and division over something or someone. But, I guess church fights are normal. From what I understand, it is unusual for a congregation to go more than two years without a ...read more

  • No Tripping Allowed

    Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 25, 2000
    based on 164 ratings
     | 6,188 views

    About spiritually tripping another person, or as Paul says, being a stumbling block to another Christian.

    Though one of the objectives of football is to knock the other guy down, tripping is not allowed. If the Packers' Ross Verba is blocking the Vikings' John Randle, trying to prevent him from sacking Brett Favre, he is not allowed to stick out his leg and trip him. If he does, and the referee sees ...read more

  • Building Community - Value One Another Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 104 ratings
     | 11,860 views

    As we gain a right understanding of how much worth and value each person has, as we come to see each other the way God sees us, then we will gain an appreciation for one another that will strengthen love and build community.

    This is the fifth and last message in our series on Building Community. In a society that is becoming increasingly fragmented, in which people seem more and more separated from one another, the church can be a refuge. More than a building, more than a Sunday morning meeting, more than an ...read more

  • Building Community - Encourage One Another Series

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Apr 1, 2001
    based on 184 ratings
     | 42,248 views

    We need to encourage one another, because encouragement is a powerful tool to help one another persevere in faith.

    Lately, we’ve been discussing what it means for the church to be a community, and how we can build and maintain a sense of community in the church. Why is this topic important? In our country, social bonds have been steadily eroding for the last forty years. People are less connected, less ...read more

    We build community in the church by willingly turning a blind eye to one another’s faults.

    How many of you have watched the television show, “Cheers”? For eleven seasons, from 1982 to 1993, Cheers was one of the highest-rated shows on television, and since 1993 its spinoff, Frasier, has also consistently been at the top of the ratings. What accounts for this popularity? Inspired writing, ...read more

    Unity among Christians does not require uniformity Community is rooted in relationship

    “Happiness is an Oily Beard” Psalm 133 -Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Here’s an interesting observation—there is a Commandment about honoring our mothers and fathers, so why isn’t there one about brothers and sisters? There is: “Thou shalt not kill.” ...read more

  • The People Of The Covenant Lord: Their Likemindedness Series

     | 4,285 views

    The covenant people are commanded to depend on the Covenant Lord in order to grow together in unity of mind according to the Word, so that God may be glorified.

    INTRODUCTION: Once I visited a new age bookstore. The owner said Christianity, Islam, Buddism, Sikhism, Agnosticism are all the same in substance because truth is relative--“what is true for you.” I could not get her to test her theory by standing in the road and chanting, "the truck is going hit ...read more

  • How To Protect Our Church

    based on 130 ratings
     | 32,190 views

    In this sermon I talk about the importance of maintaining unity in the church and give practical ways a church can protect against disunity.

    How To Protect Our Church MESSAGE DISCLAIMER: Most of this message material was taken from a sermon Rick Warren (Saddleback Church) preached to his core leadership. This sermon fit right in with what our church is (was) going through at the time. I used the manuscript from his "Leadership Lifter" ...read more
