Contributed by James Buchanan on Jan 17, 2004

A two-part series on discovering what God would have us do while we wait for His return.

I want to begin this morning by asking you a question: do you know what you are supposed to be doing? The question is simple enough—it’s a yes or no answer.

Universality Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Jun 11, 2003

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
