    Jesus uses two metaphors to describe our influence in the world today. As salt, we are to make people thirsty for Jesus. As light, we have the privilege of pointing people to the true light of the world. Our challenge is to make sure we are “out of the

    This message warns us not to depend on a list of rules, which only makes things worse, but to depend on the Lord, who alone can change us from the inside out as He lives His life through us.

    Freedom’s Power (Galatians 2:11-21) Several years ago, the Chicago Tribune, ran an article about the religious history of the Chicago area. It began with a paragraph about Zion, a small town north of the city: “Rev. John Alexander Dowie left little to chance a century ago, when the charismatic ...read more

    You Can Be Sure About The Church

     | 4,366 views

    There are a lot of churches out there to choose from. Jesus only promised to build one, He only bled for one, He only died for one and He is the head of only one. Since Jesus established only one, how can we be sure we are members of that one church?

    Recognizing the Church (You can be sure part 2) Jesus promised to build only one church. Matthew 16:18, "and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Jesus shed His blood and died for only one church.

    While Satan has been rampaging around the world “seeking whom he may destroy,” (1 Peter 5:8) God has been working too. He does so through those who have remained faithful to him.

    May 25, 2024 We have spent a bit of time over past 2 weeks exploring Satan’s activities and rightly so. It is important for us to understand that He is real. He is active. He is out to destroy us if he can. While Satan has been rampaging around the world “seeking whom he may destroy,” (1 ...read more

     | 5,254 views

    Modern churches often fail to worship because they do not recognise the centrality of preaching for worship. We would do well to recall the instruction Paul gave Timothy.

    2 TIMOTHY 4:1-5 THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD IN EVIL DAYS “I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience ...read more

    Should We Change The Way We Do Church?

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jan 23, 2023
     | 3,751 views

    The decline in North American Christianity is prompting various efforts to revise the way we do church. Some of these efforts are clearly counterproductive. Acts 2:42-47 reveals eight practices that must be incorporated in any church model.

    Should we change the way we do church? That question is being asked by a lot of people in America. Something is not working as it should. Almost everyone agrees on that. For the first time in U.S. history, church membership fell below the majority according to a Gallup poll conducted in 2020. This ...read more

    Paul’s third missionary journey was complete, having begun after a visit to “the church” in the holy city (18:22) and now ending there. His Greek mission was also complete. He would not return. Luke had prepared his readers well for this reality.

    God entrusts defense of the Faith to members of the congregation of the Faithful. Each church member is to stand firm against error rather than depending upon specialists.

    “Beloved, although I was very eager to write to you about our common salvation, I found it necessary to write appealing to you to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints.” When our children were young, we taught them a little rhyme.

    How can we call Jesus the "good shepherd" when there is so much tragedy? From the Sunday after the Columbine shootings. Deals with the problem of evil.

    "I am the good shepherd..." The very fact that Jesus chooses to describe himself as such suggests that there were other less-than-good shepherds operating in the neighborhood. There were people who cared more for themselves than the sheep and were less than considerate-perhaps even brutal at ...read more
