    I Will Build My Church

    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

    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

    What the lives of individual followers of Christ are saying about Christ and the church to the world around them.

    Recently we were thinking about getting a new church sign. The old one doesn’t communicate well. It’s not only out of date, it just doesn’t stand out. The impression it makes doesn’t create curiosity and interest in our church to passers by. Made me think about our lives as believers in Christ. ...read more

    This sermon looks at what God expects from His children.

    Things That Make A Great Church Matthew 16:13-20 When Jesus organized His church, I think He meant for it to grow. I think that He wanted it to become powerful and great. I don’t think he ever meant for it to be just “a little church in the wild woods” and I don’t think He is pleased with any ...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. Sadly, that also happened at church and created tension among the people of God. What a shame!

    One thing we can be sure of, if the church is ever going to have an impact in the world, all we do must be surrounded by prayer.

    There are many misconceptions about the ministry of a deacon. This is a brief outline summarizing the role of deacons in the early Church. These should be guidelines for the 21st century deacons.

    In the original language, the word, Deacon, means Servant The title itself, is as descriptive as any job description could be. In the Bible, words have meanings and the word "deacon" means servant. Here is how the word has been defined in its various forms: "Diakoneo and its derivatives, as their ...read more

    Marks Of The Faithful Church

     | 7,695 views

    With what God has entrusted to us, are we faithful not only as individuals but as a church toward God. Are we willing to faithfully pursue Him and walk with Him no matter what! God put the church in the world; Satan tries to put the world in the church. Be faithful!

    Opening illustration: I wonder what Christ or even the apostle Paul would say if they were to visit our churches today. What a beehive of activity! Committees, programs, entertainment without end. But worship is often downplayed, services are cut back, prayer meetings are eliminated. Some call ...read more
