From the ancient creeds of the early church to the formal confessions of the protestant reformation, we have seen that throughout her existence the Church has always had people within who ...read more

     | 4,860 views

    Some churches and some Christians can be like a vortex sucking the life out of their community. Here’s how you can be a church that doesn’t suck.

    The most powerful influence doesn’t have anything to do with what we have; but it has everything to do with who we are. That’s why Jesus started his Sermon on the Mount by teaching us about the kind of people we ought to be. Next, Jesus builds on that idea and goes on to teach about what we must do ...read more

    Revivalist-In-Training

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Jul 4, 2023
     | 1,614 views

    What Jesus did in the gospels should be seen in the Church today, but it's not. A revivalist is a person who restores what is unused. But it starts with recognizing where we are in our walk with Jesus.

    Good evening. My name is Barry, and I am a revivalist-in-training. Now, let me explain what I mean. Webster’s dictionary gives two basic meanings for the word revival and the one that, in my view, reflects what I believe the Bible teaches is “restoration of force, validity, or effect (as to a ...read more

    Why We Exist (The Church)

    Contributed by Darin Gary on Jun 25, 2016
     | 5,121 views

    In spite of the sinful deeds and intentions of a few who claim a 'relationship' with God, and who 'work' within the auspices of some Christian denominations, the Lord Jesus has NOT abandoned the true ethos of the Church, nor the TRUE CHURCH itself.

    WHY WE EXIST (The Church’s Mission Statement) (Matt. 16:17-18; NKJV) – “…Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. [18] And, I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My ...read more
