    based on 64 ratings
     | 11,212 views

    The Church is eternal and will prevail. We need to prayerfully consider what God is directing us to do for His glory through the local church. This message has an outline which can be used with application to your local church.

    · 3 VOLUNTEERS: I need you to answer one of these questions: What is the best thing that happened to you this year, or perhaps the saddest? What is one lesson that you learned in 2002? What would you like to see happen in your life in the new year? Looking back often gives us a chance to ...read more

  • How A Church Can Change For The Better

    Contributed by Rick Duncan on Jan 6, 2003
    based on 186 ratings
     | 41,725 views

    In this message, we explore five paradigm shifts that a church can make to have a better future. This is a kind of "halftime" talk from a pastor/coach to the congregation/team.

    To compete for a championship, during a game a great team has to make some adjustments. I sometimes think of the New Year as a kind of halftime. My personal internal calendar starts in August when the kids go back to school. The first semester is over. Now, it’s the halftime before the second ...read more

    Why We should attend church services

    WHY HAVE CHURCH SERVICES? Psalms 100 Intro:A Your question this morning may be --- " why are we having this discussion? " 1. We all know why we have church services B.

  • La Esencia De La Adoracion

    Contributed by Javier Chavez on Jun 9, 2003
    based on 186 ratings
     | 90,011 views

    The purpose of this message is to show that worship is much more than external attitudes but of an inward experience in the presence of God.

    LA ESENCIA DE LA ADORACION Juan 12:1-8 Introducción Si tuviéramos que definir el termino “adoración” podríamos decir que es el medio a través del cual proclamamos las cualidades y las obras de nuestro Dios mientras entramos en su presencia para ser cambiados mas a la imagen de nuestro Señor ...read more

  • Universality Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 11, 2003
    based on 23 ratings
     | 13,352 views

    Thanks to Constantine’s move, the church gradually began to think of its universality as power rather than as an evangelical mandate. Christ is to be lord of our political life, our cultural life, our everyday life -- every aspect.

    Christ is lord of all! What a bold statement! Maybe even an arrogant statement! Lord of all? Do we believe that? It was said of one preacher that “for tender minds he served up half a Christ.” Behind that lie two realities – first, that many of us don’t want the full gospel, we’d rather just ...read more

  • Peace Pottage Hot Series

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 19, 2003
    based on 26 ratings
     | 5,659 views

    What is peace, how do we get it, and what are the consequences if we do not obtain authentic peace?

    Peace. All I want is an hour of peace! If I could just shut out the noise, pull the plug on the telephone, and send everybody packing for a couple of days, I’d be all right. Have you ever said that? Have you ever felt as though you were on the very edge of falling into an abyss? You were in ...read more

    This shows what the church should be.

    "V" is for "Church" (The idea for this sermon came from an e-mail I received.) 1. In the Bible, the church is characterized with several Vs. First, the church is visible. We read letters in the Bible written to people belonging to churches in certain cities. These are real people who make the ...read more

    Get Closer, Whisper Softer

    Gen 22:1-14 There are at least two ways to make something bigger to the eye. You can magnify it with a magnifying glass, microscope, or telescope; or you can move closer to it. Magnification makes an object appear larger to the eye, but there is only one way to get a sense of an object’s true ...read more

  • Worship: How? Series

    based on 113 ratings
     | 29,417 views

    Worship is done in many ways. But it must always have freshness and not mere form; it must be in community and not merely individual; it must have joy and not mere instruction at the bottom line; and it must spill into the streets, not confined to the sa

    In your mind’s eye, take a tour with me. In your imagination, let’s go into some very special rooms. First, we go to a spacious room, dark, slightly musty, with nooks and crannies in which you could hide if you wanted to. And, indeed, in this room, there are a number of people who appear to be ...read more
