    My first experience with church discipline… My first experience with church discipline came in the mid 1980’s when my family and I were members of a church where we were asked to pray for a sister who had left her husband and young daughter to live with her lover. Each month during communion we ...read more

     | 1,387 views

    This is the third message in our series of the church dealing with the lost.

    One thing we all will agree on is that a church should be a place where sincere Christians have gathered for worship and to see from God’s Word how they can reach the lost. Illus: The story is told of a two thousand member Baptist church that was filled to overflowing capacity one Sunday morning. ...read more

    I want to talk to you again about THE CHURCH REACHING THE LOST.

    There are a lot of misunderstandings about God’s church, but one of the biggest misunderstandings is about the purpose of the church. There is a reason that churches all over this nation, week after week, month after month, and year after year never win any souls to Christ. WHAT IS THE REASON? ...read more

    Be Focused On People, Not Property Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,226 views

    It is important to note that the church is comprised of people. It is not a building. If we fail to remember this fact, we might make the mistake of directing our energies into preserving property instead of rescuing those who are perishing.

    In Matthew 16:18, we read where Jesus said to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” When Jesus stated that He would build His church “on this rock,” He was not referring to the location where they were standing, and He ...read more
