    Does it matter what a church teaches or are all doctrines about God, the church and the Christian life equally true? If all doctrines are equally true, then why did the Apostle Paul write to churches and individuals warning them to beware of false teachers and false teaching?

    Today’s sermon begins a series of lessons that I plan to deliver in the first part of 2019. 1. I’ve titled the series “Blueprint: God’s Plan for the Church.” 2. As I mentioned two weeks ago, there is always a need to return to the basics and strengthen the foundation, and that is something we will ...read more

    Wake Up, Church! Awaken Our Commitment Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 20, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 12,700 views

    We struggle with commitment in our world today. Marriages, for example, last as long as life is convenient. Commitment to God has dwindled as well. If we are going to make a difference in the world, and set our country right, we need a solid commitment to God.

    Lack of commitment is something that runs rampant in our world today. People do not truly stand for anything or are even truly committed to anything. They are blown around like fall leaves in a windstorm, swirling around, going this way and that. (Chameleon Commitment By Neal Gracey Copied from ...read more

    Part 7f of this series of sermons addresses the function of leadership and overseeing the church as shown in the New Testament by various names - elders, pastors, bishops, overseers, presbyters, and shepherds.

    This 13-part series of classes has been many years in the making.

     | 3,695 views

    Figuratively, our Savior is sickened by the carelessness, carnality, and complacency of His people. Any church acting independently of her Lord is an unhealthy church.
