    We can become discouraged by current conditions, but we're on the winning side with the Kingdom of Jesus. It has grown from 12 men to 2.3 billion and will only gain more dominance. You can't lose because you're on the winning team!

    When people hear the word Church there mind immediately goes to a place, a structure a building or small community of people. Rarely is the true meaning of Church applied to us, by us, who believe in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

    The Greatest Problem Facing The Church

    Contributed by Steve Hereford on Sep 16, 2006
    based on 7 ratings
     | 18,014 views

    What is the greatest problem facing the church? It is money, politics, morals, or false teaching? In this message, Pastor Steve accesses our greatest need.

    For the past two Wednesday evenings we have looked at the subject of unity in the church. Such unity, as I said, can never come at the expense of the truth. Gordan Clark wrote, “Since God is truth, a contempt for the truth is equally a contempt for God.” He’s right! An attack on the truth is an ...read more

    Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013
     | 7,507 views

    This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

    As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more

    Studies In Revelation: Church Of Pergamos Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 12, 2011
     | 3,813 views

    This is a study of the church of Pergamos in the book of Revelation. This is a controversial subject but takes a conservative approach to understanding the book.

    Note: I used many sources to study this book, one of my favorites is Revelation: God’s Word for the Biblically-Inept by Daymond Duck and some out of different study bibles. Ephesus-church of the departed love Smyrna-church of fiery persecutions Pergamos-(meaning marriage) church of world ...read more

    TEXT: John 11:1-44 One of the first things that I notice about this story is the relationship between this family and Jesus. It wasn’t a strained relationship or an odd one but it was one of closeness and intimacy. They didn’t just have a casual acquaintance but a close encounter ...read more

    When Jesus Builds The Church

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 121 views

    What It Takes to Be a Light in a Dark World. Jesus calls His church to reject comfort, silence, and spectacle, and stand strong in His presence, Spirit, and Word.

    Picture Jesus, freshly baptized, water still drying on his shoulders, the voice of the Father ringing in his soul. “You are my beloved Son.” The dove has barely taken flight. That is exactly when the devil comes calling. Nobody gets a free victory lap after baptism. The real fight often starts ...read more

     | 243 views

    Spiritually, that’s where many people live—in darkness, uncertain about what is true, uncertain about eternity, uncertain about Jesus. But the Bible tells us that faith comes from hearing the Good News about Christ .

    Go! And Believe the Truth: Faith Comes by Hearing Introduction: Imagine standing in a dark room, unable to see a thing. You know there’s a light switch somewhere, but you can’t find it. Someone tells you, “The light is on the wall, just a few steps away.” You have a choice—do you believe their ...read more

    The Rapture of the Church

    The Rapture in Revelation There are several foreshadows of the rapture in the book of Revelation. To grasp the picture of the raptured church, we must understand the vision of John.
