    Contributed by John Sears on Jun 12, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 23,093 views

    In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more

     | 7,443 views

    Our response to the tragedy that took place in the mass murders of 50 people in a nightclub in Orlando can help build God's Kingdom or build more hatred between the church and the LGBT Community. Our best solution is to see how Jesus might respond.
