    How The Church Must Live According To The Gospel Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Aug 7, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,746 views

    We’re to please God, not ourselves and we’re to love one another; to seek their welfare above our own. The Christian life is always one of growth, of ongoing training, as we press on towards the goal of eternal life.

    Contributed by Jerry Flury on Nov 10, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 23,418 views

    In order to understand what is acceptable worship we need to understand the purpose of worship, what is not acceptable worship, and what constitutes acceptable worship.

    Acceptable Worship John 4:20-24 Confusion and controversy surround the topic of what is acceptable worship. For many how we worship is not a critical matter. They feel that how one worships is a personal matter and that the individual determines what is appropriate or not. In Christ’s ...read more

    Being motivated to serve the Lord with zeal usually involves 2 factors: A Picture of Who God is (what He is Like) and A Sense of God’s Purpose for Your Life.
