    We're On God's Team

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 18, 2023
     | 2,548 views

    One of the unquestioned beliefs in the Church today is that God is in control of everything that happens in our lives and on this planet. This message addresses this belief using the analogy of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit as coaches of a football team.

    Turn with me to Romans 12. We're going to read verses four and five. (4) For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: (5) `So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.” Some years ago, a well-known professional ...read more

    Gideon delivered the Israelites from the Midianites, but he would never have done it without the encouragement of his servant Purah. Leaders and churches today need a host of Purahs to help us succeed.

    A critical examination of many churches today shows signs of weakness, lethargy, and decline. The once vibrant fires of revival and renewal have dimmed or been obstructed by sin, personal desires, and evil forces.

    The state of many churches today reveals weakness, apathy, and decline. The fires of revival and renewal have dimmed or been hindered by sin, worldly influences, and spiritual opposition.

    God's Blueprint For The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Jun 29, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,475 views

    What is the church to do? If you ask modern church growth experts they would say we are to become more appealing to reach the lost. But what does the Bible say we are to do? Join Pastor Steve as he shares "God’s Blueprint for the Church."

    John MacDuff said, "The gods of the unregenerate soul are the world, self, and sin" (Grace Gems). He’s right! But in the seeker-sensitive church those three words have been ignored. We are told that the church today needs to be "light on doctrine" (quoted in an article on the Seeker-Sensitive ...read more

    Our encouragement today should be that almost two thousand years ago another small church, planted in a community probably not too unlike our own, became a model for other new churches throughout the world.
