    Contributed by Kent Kessler on Aug 30, 2007
    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,561 views

    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

    Malachi: "God’s Love Is On The Way"

    Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Dec 13, 2016
     | 5,411 views

    The believers in Israels in Malachi's day needed to have their eyes opened to the compassion of God above them; the need of those around them; and the callousness within them.

    Through-out this book, the prophet Malachi addresses the unbelieving people of Israel. But in our passage today, he turns to the few believers left in the nation. They were lamenting the lack of action on the part of God to bring judgment to unbelievers around them. They'd concluded God was ...read more

    Don't Settle For Facts, Discover The Truth - Mark 4:35-40; Numbers 26-14:1

    Contributed by Tunde Alli on Feb 16, 2012
    based on 6 ratings
     | 30,403 views

    Most Christians have substituted God's truth for facts. They believe facts rather than the truth of the word of God. Facts never set anyone free, truth does.

    John 8:32 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free'. In the first story (Mark 4:35-40), Jesus was sleeping while his disciples were worried about a raging storm; the second (Numbers 13:26-14:1) reveals the nation of Israel (save Joshua and Caleb) weeping upon discovering the ...read more
