  • A Restored Vision

    Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 26, 2008
    based on 16 ratings
     | 11,104 views

    I believe it is God’s desire for His church to begin seeking Him today so that we can catch HIS vision for what He wants to do through HIS Church.

    Introduction: It is sad to say; but many churches have turned away from the original vision God gave to them. I have never been part of a church that hasn’t struggled with that in some manner. But just because we may lose sight for a time of “who” we are, and “what” God has called us to do ...read more

    We were saved - not just for heaven, not just to attend church and not to sit in the pew but to do good works.

    God Has Work For You To Do Ephesians 2:8-10 8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should ...read more

  • "Glorify God In Your Body”

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 6, 2022
     | 2,057 views

    After a person becomes a child of God, his purpose in life is forever settled.

    Paul states very clearly how it should be. Look at Phil 1:21. We read, “For to me to live is Christ...” That is so simple, it makes one wonder why some Christians can not comprehend it. There are at least two reasons why they can not. (1) There is some kind of mental problem. For example, ...read more

  • Let The Rivers Of Revival Flow

    based on 28 ratings
     | 10,458 views

    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.

    LET THE RIVERS OF REVIVAL FLOW Ezekial 47:1-12 INTRO There are three categories of people in life today. There are those that make things happen. Those that watch things happen. Then those that don’t know what is happening. IF we want revival in the church, we need more people that will make ...read more

    Where are the nine? Where are all of those for whom Christ has died for? Why is the Lord’s house not filled with adoring worshippers? Let me share five reasons for attending Church:

    Title: "Why I Praise Him?" Introduction: Only one returned. There had been ten lepers cleansed of their leprosy, why is that only one returned to say thank you to Jesus? The statistic and question could be asked each Sunday as we await worshipers to return to Church on the Lord’s Day to give ...read more

  • Hiding In The Church House Unnoticed Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,769 views

    We tackle the group that Jesus refers to in the Sermon on the Mount as wolves in sheep's clothing. These are the one who work their way into the church congregation, get places of authority and then start sharing lies or half-truth about God or His Word for the purpose of deceiving you.

    Introduction: Today, we are going to look at the final group of players whose purpose is to deceive you and me as we approach the end times. In previous weeks, we looked at the scoffer who gets the Christian to question God. And then we saw last week that Satan uses lawlessness to his advantage to ...read more

    “What is a church?” Now that seems like a easy question, the sort of question one might answer in an simple sentence or two. “A church is a building in which Christians meet for worship,” is one obvious answer. “ Why is this study called Who is Church?

    Who is the Church? “The Church confronts the world with a message the world craves for but resents because it comes through the Cross of Christ.” Oswald Chambers Read Romans Chapter 12. “What is a church?” Now that seems like a easy question, the sort of question one ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,584 views

    As Christians we have the command to model our lives in the form and manner of Jesus Christ. Therefore, a servant church must have at its essence the embodiment of forgiveness.

    Sunday, November 5, 2006 Title: A Servant Church Forgives Text: Luke 6:37 – 42 Focus: Forgive, and ye shall be forgiven In rereading the Luke passage during this past week, I was reminded that Jesus’ public ministry only spanned three years. Time is indeed a gift from God. We do not control it, we ...read more

     | 8,872 views

    In a church you need "Reaching Out", you need "Reaching In" but Revival is about "Reaching Up."

    I think, that in talking about Revival, these past two Sundays, I may have caused some confusion over what I mean by that word and the reason for that is because Revival, is not a word that we hear much about in the churches of Christ. We know what the word Retreat means, we know what the words ...read more

    The last three Churches in Asia

    Chapter 3 The Church of Sardis This is the 5th Church that we read of in Revelation. So far, there has been a loveless Church, a persecuted Church, a lenient Church and a compromising Church.

  • Called Out: The Role Of The Church

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 14, 2022
     | 2,084 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
