3: Building Up The Church Series

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Oct 24, 2019

Do you neglect your soul all week, then come to church, expecting to be filled up? Or do you nourish your soul all week and come to build up others?

The Bible is full of different images to try to explain what the church is like and how it works. For example, the Apostle Paul often talks about the church as a building. But he didn’t mean a building made of wood or brick or stone. He meant a figurative building in which the members of the ...read more

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Oct 28, 2019

According to God's own Word, every nation tribe, people and language will be represented in heaven. It is important, however, not to confuse the reach of God's saving grace to all nations with a misconception that all roads lead to God.

To whom then will you compare me, that I should be like him? Says the Holy One. 26 Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these?

Losing Our Inheritance

Contributed by Stephen Aram on Nov 14, 2019

Soda pop tastes good, but a diet of soda pop leaves us severely malnourished. Sermons that just complement us all the time produce stunted Christians.

There was once a major public health crisis in a third world country. The problem was orange soda pop, Orange Fanta. Illiterate mothers saw the billboards for Orange Fanta and thought, “Oh, it must be modern. It must be healthy. It has a nice, pretty color.” When they tasted it they discovered ...read more
