Spiritual Church

Although there are many religions to learn about and many people who practice different religions, do we truly know the difference between knowing about God and KNOWING God? With different examples from the Bible presented by Philip Guenaga, this book will provoke you to re-read the Bible and realize that we may have been deceived, regardless of what faith you may belong to.

Believers display the greatness of God’s kingdom to a hostile world when we selflessly serve each other and those around us. In this short audiobook, Matthew Emadi explains the vital roles we play within the church. Through acts of service including hospitality, ministry, and evangelism, we bless our communities and long to hear Jesus one day say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

The principal crime of the human race, the highest guilt charged upon the world, the whole procuring cause of judgment, is idolatry. Do you inquire whom he has slain? If it contributes ought to the aggravation of the indictment, no stranger nor personal enemy, but his own self. By what snares? Those of his error. By what weapon? The offense done to God. By how many blows? As many as are his idolatries.

Embarking on a spiritual journey, the search for the right church is guided by a profound understanding that Jesus is the cornerstone. The words, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," become a guiding principle, directing the search towards a community that actively embodies these declarations. A church that centers on Jesus becomes a spiritual family, fostering unity and mutual encouragement. However, the heart of the matter lies in the personal relationship with Jesus—a source of strength, comfort, and guidance that permeates every aspect of life.

The Anointing of the Holy Spirit has both power and pitfalls that we will examine. Thank God that we all can learn how to “be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” With the armour of God and the anointing He gives, we are able to stand against all the wiles of the devil and come out victorious!

God wants you to know, feel, and believe in his love and presence in your life each and every day—so don't put him off any longer!

This collection includes two fantastic early learning titles from accomplished author Crystal Bowman.

Here is a compelling tract for our times, addressed to evangelicals, designed to set the agenda for the coming years. It calls for presenting Christ credibly to the 21st century, rehabilitating the term "evangelical" to mean good news, and engaging in spiritual and social transformation.

And so he gathered together a people for himself, and fostered them with many liberal distributions of his bounty, and, after so often finding them most ungrateful, ever exhorted them to repentance and sent out the voices of the universal company of the prophets to prophesy. By and by, promising freely the grace which in the last times he was intending to pour as a flood of light on the universal world through his Spirit, he bade the baptism of repentance lead the way.

Did you know that God isn't expecting you to clean up your life? Shocking right? God's goal for you goes so much deeper than your actions, his goal is to give you something most people dream of...new life. All of us have things in our past that we are not proud of. We probably have some things in our present we aren't too fond of either. What if God's plan for you was to let the past be the past...literally count the old you who messed up as dead, and let a new, better you be reborn. Well, that is his plan! This book holds the best news I have ever heard.

Traditionally, many churches offered unique Sunday school, Sunday morning, Sunday night and midweek services. Is that old-fashioned now? Should we still do that? Is there a precedent in God's Word to having evening services? A Case for Sunday Evening Church is a compelling look at some biblical, logical and practical reasons why our church chooses to conduct unique Sunday evening services.

The Bible teaches us that we are to love our neighbors and even our enemies. In fact, Jesus said that this would be a distinguishing characteristic of his followers. In Love Is the Answer, Pastor Rick White walks us through 1 Corinthians 13, the love chapter. Pastor Rick will show scripturally how we can represent this love in our day to day lives.

This short book is a description of the vision the Lord gave me about what is messing with the churches and ministries in America and why they can't seem to change. If I'm right, this is a horrifying state of things - far worse than anyone knows and far more hopeless. This is not about deliverance or about fighting Satan. This is about what God himself has done to us because of our disobedience.

If our oneness was not important, Yahshua would not have declared and decreed it prior to His death, burial and resurrection. If our oneness is optional then we will never be one. My question is, how can we continue to support, foster, and even celebrate our division and relational dysfunction?

Senior Minister, Reverend Matt Broadbent of Los Altos, California Foothill Congregational Church, United Church of Christ, spoke with this writer by phone and webcam via Skype in February, 2010 about same sex marriage and same sex blessings.
