    We often give lip-service to the presence of God in our church services, but tend to recognize and focus on everything except God. If God is to fill the house of worship with His presence, He must be the supreme focus of all we do there.

This temple was the fulfillment of a promise made by God to King David. David had desired to build a permanent dwelling place for the ark of God, but ...read more

    some churches are closer to the NT ideal than others. The church at Thessalonica was in that category.

    TEXT: 1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 TITLE: WHAT EVERY CHURCH SHOULD BE No doubt you have heard people say, “If you ever find the perfect church, please don’t join it. If you do, it won’t be perfect any more!” Since local churches are made up of human beings, saved by God’s grace, no church is perfect. ...read more

    The church was never meant to be a “secret society” or an “exclusive group of elites.” We were never meant to exist for Sunday! We were never meant to be a club of positive thinkers who would tell each other how good we are.

The Living Bible puts it this way: “Whatever is in the heart overflows into speech”. Sometimes I ...read more
