     | 7,427 views

    Many people often ask, what is the Christian church and what do we believe? This message is a description of New Testament Christianity

    “What is the Christian Church?” Introduction: A lot of people have the mindset that it does not matter where they go to church, as long as they are going. I do not think that this is the truth. First of all, the church is not a building, and many places that have the word church on their ...read more

    The Roles Of Women In The Church Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on May 20, 2005
    based on 104 ratings
     | 17,611 views

    This is among the most controversial sections in the Bible. Paul appears on the surface to be against women, but if you look at the context there is much more here - and more important issues than how we dress and act.

    There is no doubt that 1 Timothy 2 is among the most controversial passages of Paul’s writings. In this chapter it appears as if Paul calls men to pray and women to shut up - while dressed in sackcloth and ashes - staying home barefoot and pregnant. Although it is short - only 15 verses - it is ...read more

    The Importance of Church Attendance! If You Want to Kill the Church Never go to your church or meetings held there, if you do go, be late, it’s no one’s affair.

    Christ welcomed "the wrong crowd." Is our church doing the same?

    “THE CHURCH THAT WELCOMES SINNERS” Luke 15:1-10 Have you ever visited a church, and not felt welcome? A few years ago, I went to an area Reformation service.

    " Must" For The Growing Church

    Contributed by Joel Santos on Sep 30, 2004
    based on 37 ratings
     | 5,624 views

    If we are to see our churches growing like the early church, we must be like the Jerusalem church. Certain characteristics should be present in our churches today before growth takes place.

    The whole process of growth is caused by God. A farmer plows his field, sows the seed and fertilizes and cultivates the plant--all the while knowing that, in the final analysis, he is utterly dependent on forces outside himself. He knows he cannot cause the seed to germinate nor can he produce the ...read more
