A wrong mindset concerning the church has replaced the life of the church with programs and systems. If the church is going to be on mission, fulfilling God’s design, a new psychology must be adopted. We must develop a missional mind.

The church is a community of believers on mission, the mission of Jesus Christ. But does this mission truly permeate our thinking and our doing. Listen as Michael Durham explains what is the mission of Christ and what it has to do with us.

Small groups are not the answer but small groups can serve the purpose of the local church. Listen and discover what the purpose of the church is and how we must adopt something more than a “worship service” mentality.

Michael Durham outlines five problems that have converged to derail the church from its mission to make disciples and the four requirements of true discipleship.

The Apostle Paul uses the metaphor body for the church strategically. From the metaphor we can gain much insight on how the church of Jesus is to function. This message continues the series on what a community-centered church is.

We must abandon the traditional “event and location” definition of church and return to the New Testament paradigm of community. In this message we see why the necessity for this.

God gives us His blessings so that we may be caused to worship Him but He has another intention in His blessings—to make us holy as He is.

Most Christians do not see worship as a top priority. For the most part, worship is a Sunday morning event. But in this message, Michael Durham shares the huge importance of worship. It is the ultimate purpose for which we were created and redeemed.

Sadly, too many Christians only think about the Resurrection of our Lord on Easter, but the event is more significant than a holiday we celebrate once a year. The covenant of grace that God initiated on the cross of Christ is completed in by the resurrection of Jesus.

The natural and spiritual realms are two spheres of living for the Christian. In the story of Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac we see how the two realms work in conjunction if the Christian will by faith bring the spiritual to bear upon the material. If you have to learn how to turn loose of your Ishmael.
