    God has given the church what she needs. The diversities of talents and gifts are intentional. When everyone serves, the Body of Christ is built up and grows, until we become mature in Christ.

    We are the church. We are the Body of Christ. • By now, I believe you do know that. The church is not a building. It is not even the activities that make the church. It is the people. • You and I form the church. It is not an organization, although it is organized. It is an ...read more

    Do you come to church expecting to meet with the living God or has it become dull and boring for you? Remember it is important to finish what you start, know what you want and get what you came for.

    Preached 1985. What merits our coming to church frequently? We need to come with the expectation that God will meet us in the presence of His people. And then we will respond with prayer for the church, not mere criticism or complaint.
