    We are called to join in with God by deliberately, intentionally seeking out the lost. When the lost are found we are called to join with God in rejoicing!

    A few years ago I was reading a book by Stephen Gaukroger. He tells the story of a New York Methodist minister who saw the need to bring his ‘ninety nine righteous’ sheep back into the fold. He put an advert in the local paper: “Lost, stolen or strayed; a large flock of Methodist sheep. They ...read more

    Nathanael, who is also known as Bartholomew, is confronted by a Saviour who seems to know so much – yet Nathanael is still allowed to be a disciple. We can also be disciples, despite the fact that we are known so well by Jesus.

    Message John 1:43-51 “Nathanael – great things are found in the strangest places” Great things can often be found in the strangest places. Maybe you have heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They are a large collection of manuscripts … many of them being copies of Old Testament books … which date back ...read more

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011
     | 9,850 views

    Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

    Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

    The Inherited Church Series

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 16, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 6,742 views

    To accomplish the task of evangelising our world, we must work as though our congregation was new. New churches have a vibrancy that can be lost as we grow older. In time, if we don't take care, we will have an "inherited church" rather than a vibrant, living congregation.

    “To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete ...read more

    A continuation of a study on the seven churches of Revelation. The church of Thyatira was worldly, ungodly, and yet there were a few in it that kept the faith and were commended and encouraged to hang in there.
