When the Church is the Church

In this message from 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, Dr Richie Allen preached a sermon entitled “When the Church is the Church”. When the church is really who God has called her to be inside the walls of its corporate worship gatherings, the body of Christ is edified and encouraged.

How Do You Look?

In this message from 1 Corinthians 4:1-5, Dr Richie Allen preached a sermon entitled “How Do You Look?”. We shouldn’t think to highly of church leaders, they are just servant and stewards of God who are under-rowers for the church.

At the end of the day, the approval of one person- Jesus Christ, should be the only thing we should be concerned about.

Your Building Permit Has Been Issued

If our contributions are burned up, they will suffer loss.
