    Sermon 3 of 6 on the Acts 2:47 church - 24/7! We are called to be salt and light. I used several different Sermon Central sources for illustrations, ideas and comments.

    2:47 – 24/7 Transforming Community Transformers change things. That’s what they do. When my girls were growing up I wanted to buy them "Transformers" instead of dolls. Donna wouldn’t let me for reasons that I don’t remember now. I’m sure her reasons were good - I just don’t remember what they ...read more

     | 7,050 views

    Using the metaphor of a body, I believe that for this church to function properly as Christ would have it function, as well as each us individually, there are certain body parts that ALL of us must possess.

    WHAT THE BODY OF CHRIST NEEDS I CORINTHIANS 12:12-18 INTRODUCTION: Throughout the New Testament the church is likened to a physical body made up of many members each functioning in a different capacity but all being part of the same unity and working together for the proper functioning and benefit ...read more

    Over 3 million shipwrecks litter the ocean floor, but none of these shipwrecks had to happen. Paul warned us that we must be careful with our lives. He gave us 3 marks of those who are heading for shipwreck.

    “beautiful Feet And The Gospel Goal” Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,551 views

    How could Paul have come to the same conclusion as the prophet Isaiah some 700 years before about "beautiful feet"? The "feet" of the Church are to resemble the heavenly "feet" that first stepped onto mountains of Zion, and later were nailed to a cross.

    “Beautiful Feet and the Gospel Goal” Romans 10:9-15 At one time or another, everyone has played the “word association game?” You know how it’s played: one person gives a word and then you spontaneously respond with another word. If we changed the game to ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 6,474 views

    It's easy to think that business meeting is boring, but church business is God's business. We may be too casual with God's business. Every vote should be bathed in prayer. We should pray until the answers come.
