When a church grows, so do the needs.  However, key leaders need to stay focused on the mission.

No matter how good a church may be, they will always have people who like it, hate it, flock to it, and avoid it.  Yet, the Spirit can open the eyes of change people's view of it when the church is faithful and consistent.

Guest speaker, John Henderson, reminds us that the fruitfulness of the Christian life comes from abiding in Christ, not doing things for Him.

The first sin in the church was a couple's attempt to deceive the church into thinking they were more generous than they were. Sin has the power to ruin even the most beautiful things.

Everything good about the church is based on the gospel message; a message the world doesn't want to hear but is undeniably true.

In the early days of the church, it reached a standard that should encourages us to rise up to it. For even if we don't reach that standard, we will be blessed to be one step closer to it.

The Coming of the Holy Spirit is often studied for the signs that accompanied it, but the power that the Spirit gave was to the Church to be a witness to all nations and for everyone hear gospel spoken directly to them.

Leadership is a dangerous necessity in the church.  The story of Judas is a warning to us all, and his replacement is a message that leaders are still necessary even when some have failed.

Even with Jesus departing, the mission of God would continue through a new manifestation of His Spirit... the Church.
