     | 3,206 views

    How can we re-imagine worship in this time of Corona Virus? Looking at the earliest Christians and how they invented their worship from scratch, what can we learn? What do we look at and go "I miss that", and what do we look at and go "we could learn from that"?

    Teaches believers what it means to be truly accountable for ones self and their actions, because one day we will all have to give and account of ourselves; and we will be judged according to thought-word and deed.

    Rom 14: 9 For to this end Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. 11 For it is written, As I live, ...read more

    Throughout History Sin has been a topic that we know what it is, & we don’t talk about it. We know not to do it, or encourage others to do it. What’s changed? Sin has become so open & welcome!

    Sermon- What has become of sin? - In studying Hosea we talked a little about the openness of sin before the fall of northern Israel. - The way sin works is, it comes in as a mere thought. Then comes the response to the thought, & sin is produced. Then when sin is produced, ...read more

    Elijah’s words to Israel are the same words that I have to speak to the church today. How long will you halt between two opinions? It’s time to get the right opinion and serve the Lord.

    WHAT IS YOUR OPINION? By Pastor Jim May One of the greatest prophets who ever lived was Elijah. Here was a real man of God. Not much is known of Elijah’s family roots.

    What make a church successful? Is it lots of money? A great preacher? Great outreach programs and internal programming? Oddly enough, the early church didn't have that - and yet they turned the world upside down. What did the early church have that made the difference?
