Monthly Bible Study Article

Live by the Spirit

What does it mean to be Spirit filled?

What does it meant to be "Spirit filled?" The biblical contexts of living by the Spirit or being filled by the Spirit are in three main areas. One is being empowered for ministry as we see in Acts (this is covered in our "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit PI& Baptism of the Holy Spirit Part II" series ), and another is overcoming the influences of passion and sin. The third main category is walking by faith under God's direction. This article concentrates on the aspect of being empowered for Christian living and sin reduction.

Christianity is not just the proclamation of the Gospel; it is also the example of the Gospel!

Monthly Leadership Article

The Church of Perfidy

The slope upon which we slip into a Church of Perfidy is the hill of compromise, where we weaken our beliefs and doctrines, and fail to love. This can easily happen if we fail to apply Christ and His guidelines to our lives.

Church Growth Tip of the Week

The leadership must be able to steer the church through rough white waters! (See our articles on Conflict Resolution, Gossip, and Hypocrisy Conflict, and Matthew 18)

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

Pray that your church can be a community of grace and forgiveness, that your church has an atmosphere of encouragement by being grateful for Christ's work in them that enables the congregation to be inspired to give genuine hospitality to all who come though your doors (Rom. 15:4-6; 2 Thess. 2:16-17).
