    No matter how many and good the works you do for the church, if Jesus is not at the center of them you are missing the target.

    Have you ever been in love? Remember back to those first dizzy days. Nothing else really mattered, did it, beyond when you would see your sweetheart next. Spending time with him or her was the most important thing in your life. Did you rush through chores to be ready earlier, or linger in front ...read more

    To remain faithful in the face of pressure, we need to be grounded in our identity as followers of Christ, with knowledge, obedience, and love.

    We spend one Sunday a year praying for persecuted Christians around the world. Of course there’s the “Martyr of the Month” column in the newsletter, and occasionally our bulletin inserts will highlight a trouble spot or a new martyr. But that’s all the time most of us spend ...read more

    What Makes A Church Ugly? Ephesus Pt 5 Series

    Contributed by Kent Kessler on Oct 14, 2010
     | 3,745 views

    The problem with Ephesus is they were doing so much inside the walls they never went out. They were a “come-and-get-it” church and not a “go-and-get-them” church. This church saw their culture as something you stay away from.

    “What Makes a Church Ugly?” Ephesus. Revelation 2:1-7 The world tries to get it right, but in all of its wisdom it can never measure up to the truth of God—it is all foolishness. LOVE is not a feeling to be lost—but it can be forsaken. LOVE causes us some great and full ...read more

    The church at Ephesus had much going to it and only one thing going against it - that thing was THE THING...It was now backslidden.

    The Backslidden Church Revelation 2:1-7 * Today we begin ‘Part 2’ of the Revelation. Chapter 1 constitutes Part 1 of this book because it highlights the things which “have been.” Chapter 2 begins with the things which are.

    The Church at Smyrna is a church which received no criticism from the Lord but much abuse from both the culture and the "congregation" (those who ’say’ they are Jews)

    The Unveiling The “Beat Up” or “Bloodied” Church Revelation 2:8-11 * From my observation we live in an increasingly violent culture.

    Revive us again; Fill each heart with Thy love; May each soul be rekindled With fire from above. Revival time is here again for some churches. It means getting preachers and singers booked ahead of time. It means putting an announcement in the church bulletin and for some it means to make posters ...read more
