    Why The Church Series

    Contributed by John Sears on Jun 12, 2014
    based on 8 ratings
     | 23,120 views

    In our culture where the influence of the church is diminishing, why should we BE the church? The answer is found in the identity of Jesus and the promises he makes about the Kingdom he is establishing (the church).

    Why the Church I want to share some staggering statistics about church. Since the year 2000, more than 4000 churches in America have closed the doors to their buildings each year. That's more than 40,000 churches. At the turn of the 1900’s there were 27 churches to every 10,000 people. ...read more

     | 4,906 views

    True Church is the only potential entity to bring changes in society. God’s people are the true church and they are placed everywhere and in every job to establish the values of the Kingdom of God. The book of Revelation beautifully unfolds the communication of God to the Churches.

    This is not a sermon but a Prophetic word with a prophetic assignment to the church of Jesus Christ (it won't fit everyone) He that hath ears to hear let him hear.

    Prayer For The Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 21, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,497 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more

    We can't be the church as individuals, yet in the American church today many have the mentality of being lone rangers. If we are going to be the church that God intended we must be committed to the church and to each other.

    Living As The Church Ephesians 4:1-16 INTRO: Have you ever read the Gospels and looked for the church? If you haven’t you should try it sometime. But I can tell you that you will not find much about church in the Gospels. Mark, Luke, and John don’t even mention the church and the ...read more

    What should faith look like in a church body?

    Faith Church Philippians 1:27-30 Many times over the years I am asked what kind of church do I want to pastor or what kind of church is Gap Creek.
