    Tonight, we will begin our study on spiritual gifts. Most of us are familiar with Matthew 28:19-20, in which Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission to “go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ...read more

  • Called Out: The Role Of The Church

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022
     | 1,633 views

    Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church, and no one else (Matthew 16:13-19). We have strayed from what the Scriptures teach about the church's purpose and responsibilities and instead allowed the world's opinions take precedence over what we are to be and do.

    When we hear the word "church", most of us think of a building or membership in a particular denomination with standards, beliefs, and guidelines for worship, order, the reading and use of Scripture, and sermons. The problem is that far too many people now view the church as a symbol ...read more

    A Recipe for Revival. Revival is not just a couple of evangelistic meetings and growth in the church. It is when God’s people fall back in love with Jesus and we start to pray, see the power, and praise God.
