    Jesus lovingly calls us to reject complacency, pursue genuine relationship with Him, and value what truly matters over worldly success or self-sufficiency.

    There’s a kindness in the way Jesus speaks to us. He doesn’t holler from across the street; He knocks at the front door. He doesn’t shove His way into our living rooms; He stands and waits, like the Friend you can trust with the tender truth. You can almost hear the hinge creak as you reach for the ...read more

    Many when they start a study on the book of Revelation they like to skip the SEVEN CHURCHES OF REVELATION.

    Why? They get in a hurry wanting to read about the Anti-Christ, the Two witness and the 144 Jewish missionaries and etc. But in skipping the SEVEN CHURCHES of REVELATION they are missing out on some of the good teachings of Christ we learn from His live. Such as: We can see from the SEVEN ...read more

    This was a message that God gave me for our church in a time of transition that was a reminder of God’s Call and Mission for our church, but applies to all God’s Children.

    What you were called to… Jude 1:17-23 This past week I had the privilege to attend our Foursquare National Convention in Houston. For me personally it was great time of renewal and reaffirmation.

    WHAT AM I? (part three) INTRODUCTION: In part one of ‘what am I’ in Christ we saw that since we have been born again we are now a child of God. I have been given God’s Spirit and I have an inheritance waiting for me in heaven. Last week I talked about how we are a temple of God ...read more

    According to Scripture we have a tremendous ministry of encouragement to one another as we grow to become a “church of encouragers.” What is this encouragement based on? How do we go about it? What impact does such encouragement have on our relationshi

    A Church’s Mission: The Purpose Of Church At The Mission

    Contributed by Rev. Matthew Parker on May 15, 2011
     | 10,207 views

    Jesus was sent by the Father and Jesus then sent His disciples. How does Jesus’ calling connect with the church’s calling? How does God use the unique character of a local church to impact its community for the gospel?

    Let’s consider the purpose of Church at the Mission today? Why are we here? What is the mission of Church at the Mission? Our mission, why we are here and what we should be doing, is not something that we come up with ourselves. Who is the head of this church. It’s not me. It’s not Rick Tobias. ...read more

    There are many misconceptions about what Jesus' universal church is. Is it a denomination? Is it all churches combined into one? Is it the clergy? This sermon deals with many of these misconceptions and shows what God reveals about His church.

    In the context of Matthew 16, we see what many people think about Jesus. It is interesting that so many people saw His miracles and signs, and had such contrasting responses. This seems to be the main point of this section we will look at today. Many saw the miracles and signs (the Sadducees and ...read more

    The presidential election has repeatedly brought division in many countries. It has ruined friendship, family members stop talking with each other because they disagree on which candidate they should vote.

    When God brought the Gentiles in it was a major hurdle for some of the Jewish Christians. How did they deal with the divisive fall out? How can we practice what God taught them?

    We really need to review where we’ve been to appreciate where we are in Acts 15. Here it is in a nutshell. Just before he ascended back to heaven, Jesus commissioned the apostles to wait in Jerusalem for power from God to accomplish the witnessing work of bringing the gospel to the whole world. ...read more
