    This is the final sermon in a series based on Luke 4:14-21 and Isaiah 61:1-4 which equates the mission of the Church with that of Jesus as He states it in Luke 4:18-19. The mission calls of immediate obedience without delay.

    The Urgency of His Mission and Ours --Luke 4:14-21 and II Corinthians 6:1-2 As we have discovered, our Lord clearly defines His mission in Luke 4:18-19. Four points stand out. Just as Jesus did, we His Church must: 1. Bring good news to the poor 2. Proclaim release to the captives and ...read more

    When a church possesses all the characteristics of a Spirit-filled church, it will attract new people to God and to the church

    Determined By Devotion Series

    Contributed by Brian Bill on Apr 29, 2003
    based on 34 ratings
     | 14,585 views

    Likewise, in the Bible, God put together a little instruction tag that should be attached to every church. If our church wants to operate correctly, run smoothly, and make the right plays, then it’s imperative that we follow God’s directions

    Making an Impact: Determined by Devotion I had the opportunity this week to play softball with the church team. I guess they were hard up for players. I started the game OK but ended up dropping a couple fly balls and striking out. I think they’ll think twice about inviting me to come ...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

    It was a hand delivered letter. It arrived at his home. He opened it, and read it. (Had loaded a copy of the book of Philemon from "the message" into an envelope.

     | 10,203 views

    What exactly is the church ... A community center, a social action organization, or a gathering of people set apart from a sinful world and set apart to a life devoted to God’s calling? Peter, the rock, helps us define the true purpose of the church.

    Please e-mail me with any comments or if you use any part of this at your church at Mail4ChrisR@aol.com. I would love to hear about it.
