    Strengthening Leadership In The Church

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Jun 27, 2020
     | 4,201 views

    Thus, believers limit leadership to the secular world and the places where citizens socialize, political establishments, corporate business, sporting activities, and professional gatherings in society. The price is the low and unworkable leadership structure in the body of Chris

    Therefore, there is a need for the restructuring of the present church model if she desires to project Christ's government and leadership to the world. There must be an all-inclusive, team spirit, true unity, and a three-but a single-level model built upon the membership, stewardship, and ...read more

     | 910 views

    The sermon explores the significance of Pentecost as the birth of the church and emphasizes the church's mission to proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth.

    Birthdays are a big deal. And, some birthdays are a bigger deal than others. Like first birthdays for instance… That’s a milestone no one wants to miss. And yet for some reason, many of us just seem to blow right past the actual birth of the church. Sure, we all know about the birth of Jesus at ...read more

    ACTS 2:14-18 PETER'S SERMON AT PENTECOST [1 Peter 1:10-20 / Matthew 24:29-30] Careless, scoffing comments prompted the first Christian sermon.

    I believe the devil spends more time in church than many Christians. It makes sense for him to do so. If he can hang around Christians & create confusion, doubt, division, or discouragement....

NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (REVISED: 2022) NOTE: I borrowed the title and gleaned much of the content of this sermon from an excellent book, “The Devil Goes To Church” (Covenant Publishers, Webb City, MO), by David L.

    Is the church today the church that God had in mind. What did God have in mind for the church and what is the true purpose of the church. The church that Jesus built is different then the church today. Part #1

    Contributed by Paul Apple on Jan 13, 2010
     | 7,610 views

    Supernatural boldness in church planting validates authentic ministry when based on pure motives and proper conduct (the marks of Spirit-filled church planters).

    As we reach the end of our first month of attempting to plant a church and as we study the NT model for church planting from the Book of 1 Thessalonians, we need to ask ourselves if we are too tentative. What is impressive from studying Paul and Silas and Timothy is their confidence and ...read more

    The highest calling of the church is to reach the lost for Christ.

    In view of the church today, we should ask ourselves the following questions: 1. Are we a church in a maintenance mode or a mission mode? 2. Are we tied to the dock serving as a reception center or (are we out on the seas of life serving as a rescue operation? 3. Which is greater our seating ...read more
