    We will no longer be a “Silent” Church, but a “Story” Church! IN REINVENTING THE CHURCH WE MUST SEE THAT OUR STORIES OF THE RELATIONSHIP WE HAVE WITH JESUS CHRIST MUST BE SHARED WITH THE PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

    Last week I spoke about how the church is in crisis and unless we REINVENT the church, she will continue to die a slow but sure death. One of the ways we need to REINVENT the church today is by no longer being a COME AND GET IT church, but instead, a GO AND GET THEM church as Jesus modeled when ...read more

    A challenge to turn from gossip when something happens in the church family and rather turn to love for support.

    “Oh man, Mary Jo’s got the cooties.” “Yeah, I heard she got ‘em from messing around with Billy Bob.” “Ain’t that just the most awful thing you ever heard, I don’t think we should be her friend anymore.” Sounds rather much like grade school doesn’t it?

    We must understand that our nation is on the verge of birth pangs and there is a desperate cry for revival in the body of Christ. Numerous obstacles do not create a conducive atmosphere for it to birth, so what do we do as a church about it?

    God ran out of patience with sinful humanity, and sent the Flood. He ran out of patience with Sodom and Gomorrah and sent fire and brimstone. Jews waited patiently for the Messiah, as we wait for His return, but do we have to be patient about everything?
