    The Church

    based on 45 ratings

    Had the church been built upon any other person than Christ, it would never be able to withstand the torment of Hades. It is not one of the wonders of this world - it is THE wonder of this world.

    A huge metal structure was built in 1889 for an international exposition. It was larger than anything that was built like it before, and it was considered by many as a ‘monstrosity that was to grotesque to see.’ But the creator, who had spent over a year building it, knew it was destined for ...read more

    A 3 week look at who Jesus is and why He deserves our worship!

    JESUS: WHY?! March 19, 2016 Colossians 1:15-20 Have you ever asked yourself this question . . . . If I had the chance to tell someone about Jesus — someone who had never heard about Jesus and who didn't know anything about Jesus — what would I tell them? What would I want them to know about this ...read more

    Why Bethlehem?

    Bethlehem was a tiny insignificant town; it wasn't an industrial, educational, or financial place. Just one of 1,000s of little towns. But God chose to bring the greatest thing in the world out of it. God can do that with your life too!

    WHY BETHLEHEM? Mic. 5:2 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. A 3 year old was helping his mother unpack their nativity set. He announced each piece as he unwrapped it from its tissue paper. “Here’s a donkey!” “Here’s a king!” 2. When he got to an infant molded into a manger, he proclaimed, “Here’s Baby ...read more

    We need to understand the importance of prayer and the impact of prayer in our lives. The song you heard reflects the importance of prayer and really how natural it is to pray.

    Why Pray? Series:"Why?" Opening Illustration: Song and clip from "Jesus take the wheel." This little clip we just heard reveals how prayer is only a breath away. It’s really more natural to pray than not to pray. Thesis: We need to understand the importance of prayer and the impact of prayer in ...read more

    This message examines 3 reasons why we worship God. Personal testimonies about worship from others are used in point #2.

    “WHY WORSHIP?” Ps. 115 INTRO – As I conclude this series of “Why” sermons, there were so many different directions that I could have gone w/ these topics – “Why give…minister…witness…share…give the pastor and staff a raise…” But over the last 4 weeks, felt led to preach on “Why pray…serve…be a ...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

    Waiting on God’s Timing

    This is a word or a verb that is very hard for most people. It requires a lot from someone to do this action. We tend to want things fast, our dreams or our goals reached quickly, to get married and it hurts or terrifies us when we can’t see or do what we want rigtht away. We tend to take actions ...read more

    Why do Christians emphasize the importance and centrality of Jesus? Why is there no compromise?

    INTRODUCTION: It’s been said: Why do you Christians place so much emphasis on Jesus? Why are you so “intolerant”? Why can’t you be more accepting and admit that other religions can also know God? Why can’t you Christians believe that people from other religions can be just as morally good as ...read more

    Jesus said He would build His church. What we read in Acts 4 is how He intended to do it. What do we read there that helps us understand our part in Christ's construction crew?

    There’s the true story of a southern church that had been stressing the importance of witnessing to people. One particularly slow young man in the congregation took the idea to heart, but he wasn’t quite sure how to do it. Then, that Sunday, a skeptic visited the church one Sunday, and the boy ...read more

    The Beatitudes are a beautiful picture of the character of Christ and of consecrated Christians. Why would such a lifestyle depicted in the first seven beatitudes provoke persecution rather than admiration and esteem?

    Intro In our study of the Beatitudes, we come to the eighth beatitude. It is recorded in Matthew 5:10: “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”i The reward declared in this final beatitude is the same as declared in the first ...read more

    We are often told that we are to rejoice as Christians but you ever wonder: Why?

    Well we are almost through the prophets, both major and minor. And you’ll recall from earlier messages that the designation Major and Minor has nothing to do with the importance of the Prophet or his message, instead it is indicative of the length of his message. And most of these guys had a ...read more

    Prayer is our primary means of seeing God work in others’ lives. Because it is our means of “plugging into” God’s power, it is our means of defeating Satan and his army that we are powerless to overcome by ourselves. Therefore, may God find us often befor

    Fellowship On Purpose Series

    Can we effectively worship the Lord by ourselves at home, on the golf course, or on a hiking trail in the forest? Why do we need to go to church? Is there something in it for us? Yes, there is something in it for each of us!

    We’re going to begin discussing the five purposes of the church by first looking at what the Bible says about fellowship. Dictionary.com defines fellowship as, “friendly relationship,” “companionship,” and “communion, as between members of the same church.”(1) The Lord wants us all to have close ...read more
