     | 2,046 views

    Only when we are united in heart, mind and purpose will the people around us know and believe in Jesus. This sermon will teach us what we should do to make this a possibility.

    We read in Acts 4:32, “The whole congregation of believers was united as one — one heart, one mind!” (MSG) The testimony about the early church was that though they were numerous, they were all with one heart and one mind. When we hear such a declaration, probably the question that arises is, ‘How ...read more

    When you are BROKEN, remove the thinking of, “Well, if the Lord wants to BLESS me, He’ll BLESS me.” EVERYTHING is UNDER YOUR CONTROL! You are a CHILD of GOD! The Lord have ALREADY BLESSED (w/o FINDING FAULT) you, it’s all up to you to POSSESS it! RISE UP,

    We need to understand what the Council Fathers intended for Liturgy, and the two things most people think they wanted which are not what they actually said they wanted.

    Most of us are tired and weary of the same old, same old when we come to church. We don’t want to feel like when we attend that we are simply going through the motions. People no longer come to church because it is the right thing to do.

    “Finding your Purpose” Ephesians 1:11-12 Listen to what God’s word says in Paul’s letter to the church in Ephesus. Ephesians 1:11-12 Eugene Peterson who wrote the message paraphrased this verse... Here it is...”It’s in Christ that we find out who we are and what we are living for. Long before we ...read more

    Regaining Our Purpose Series

    If a church has lost its purpose, then that congregation will be deprived of direction and momentum. Understanding our purpose will enable us to stay on the right path, in order to remain faithful and fruitful in our kingdom efforts.

    I wish to begin by sharing a verse from the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 29:18 wisely cautions, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (KJV). The American Standard Version says it like this: “Where there is no vision, the people cast off restraint.” Vision, or rather purpose, establishes ...read more

    The purposes of church government are to organize the ministries of the church, maintain doctrinal purity, and to promote the mission of the Church

    The First Deacons are Appointed Acts 6:1-7 Before we look into how we should understand this text, it is helpful to review the challenges to the unity of the church we have already uncovered.

    The life of Jonah teaches us that there is nothing we do is hidden from God. Also, we learn that as a church we must be certain of our identity and our purpose so we can glorify God through all we are and all we do.

    We read in Jonah 1:7-8, Then the men said to each other, "We should throw lots to find out why this is happening to us." So the men threw lots. The lots showed that the troubles came to them because of Jonah. Then the men said to Jonah, "It is your fault that this terrible thing is ...read more

    Paul loved the church at Philippi and was committed to praying for them. We need to share the same commitment to pray for the church. There are real people with real needs, that need specific prayers.

    A Prayer of Purpose Philippians 1: 9-11 Following a gracious greeting and a word of thankfulness for their partnership in ministry, Paul offers a brief, but pointed prayer for the church in Philippi. Although his prayer is but three sentences long, it possesses great wisdom and reveals the heart ...read more

    God help the bride of Christ, the church and the body of Christ today is my sincere prayer. Can you imagine the fragmentation, cacophony, disunity that the church today is engulfed in?

    “John said to Jesus, “Master, we saw someone using your name to cast out demons, but we told him to stop because he isn’t in our group.” 50 But Jesus said, “Don’t stop him!
