     | 5,317 views

    What is the Church about? Why do we go to church? The Church has a mission, it has a goal. Jesus calls us to represent the kingdom of God. We are to be living messengers noted by Jesus prayer in Jn. 17: 23, "May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me."

    Frances Chan is an amazing man. Loves Jesus, loves the Church, loves the lost, and has a powerful way of expressing it. I love it. So, some of what I will be sharing comes from his talks on the Mission of the Church. I. Why have Church? What is church? What’s church about? - ...read more

    Look at 14:1 “And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the sabbath day, THAT THEY WATCHED HIM.”

Remember the Son of God became flesh as we are, and the Bible says He went into the Chief Pharisees house “…To eat bread on the ...read more

    It is good for Christians to judge--the right way. The modern understanding of "do not judge" is merely relativism. If there are no rights or wrongs, naturally one cannot judge. But there are rights and wrongs, and there is a right and wrong way to judg

Assyria was a constant threat to the people of Israel. To the Israelites, Nineveh was a byword for evil. Famous for their ...read more
