    Human Church Signs

    Contributed by Brian Atwood on Apr 17, 2001
    based on 189 ratings
     | 9,755 views

    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 It’s not only out of date, it just doesn’t stand out.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

    Bold preaching of the Truth of Christ may make us unpopular, but it is the only way to image Christ to the world.

    Monday of 7th Week of Easter Gaudium et Spes Paul’s first visit to Ephesus, which was destined to be the most influential early Christian community in the area we now call Turkey, did not fit the pattern of his other entries into towns. Usually Paul would go to the synagogue first, preach ...read more

    based on 84 ratings
     | 34,671 views

    Like Pergamos, today’s church seems to keep only a moderate distance from the world, but both the world AND the church are moving downhill in tandem, and further away from Jesus. Link inc. to formatted text, audio/video, PowerPoint.

    Pergamos: The Compromising Church Rev. 2:12-17 http://gbcdecatur.org/sermons/Pergamos.html [map] Before 1974, there was a huge portion of land in the northern part of Australia that belonged to the superstitious Aborigines.

    Light Of The World

    Contributed by Peter Adigizi David on Nov 8, 2013
     | 3,995 views

    INTRODUCTION: Light is a very important aspect of life, the absence of which speaks of dullness, chaos, confusion. No wonder at the very beginning, God first commanded that there be light before continuing with the work of creation(Gen.1:1-2). God Himself is the Light (Rev 21:22)

    Importance of Light:- • Light gives illumination and direction. Ps 119:105 • No creation OR order until you receive light on the matter Gen 1:1-2, Dan 9:1-2 • Pure, irresistible, all-conquering Jn 1:5, Matt 4: 4-7 ...read more

    How we are to be salt and light in the world

    Brooks Atkinson, an American journalist, said, “I have no objection to churches, so long as they don’t interfere with God’s work”. Why are we here? What does it mean to be the church in Farnham in 2005? Our gospel reading has some ideas for us on what it might be all about, and our epistle ...read more

    Defining The Church

    based on 127 ratings
     | 10,202 views

    What exactly is the church ... A community center, a social action organization, or a gathering of people set apart from a sinful world and set apart to a life devoted to God’s calling? Peter, the rock, helps us define the true purpose of the church.

    Please e-mail me with any comments or if you use any part of this at your church at Mail4ChrisR@aol.com. I would love to hear about it. God Bless! - Chris To define the church there is no better place in the Bible to look than at the 16th Chapter of Matthew and Peter’s confession at Caesarea ...read more

    Sent with Power: The Church’s Call to Heal and Preach Introduction Let me ask you a question: when you hear the word “commission,” what comes to mind?

    Marks Of The Faithful Church

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jul 16, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,011 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

    It probably surprises you to learn that a book like Revelation begins with the word blessed. How in the world can this prophetic book make us happy? Revelation makes Christ’s Church happy because it reminds us that our King is on His throne.

    “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are ...read more

    The Message To Thyatira: The Compromising Church Series

     | 6,697 views

    We live in a world of compromise where people seek their own interests at any cost. People, in a sense, sell their souls for the pleasures of the world.

    Just like last time when we said that worldliness will corrupt a church, tonight we will see that compromise will also destroy a church. We live in a world of compromise where people seek their own interests at any cost. People, in a sense, sell their souls for the pleasures of the world. ...read more

    For God so love the world that He gave His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish

    Sermon for John 3:1-17 February 17th 2008 As I’ve mentioned over and over Lent is a time of struggle, a time of spiritual growth.

    “What is the value of the church?” Consider the standard of the Word of God as opposed to how the world measures the church.

    The Measure of a Church’s Value Mark 8:34-38 Introduction: When we were setting up the new property insurance policy for the church the question of the replacement value of the church came up.
