Charles Spurgeon’s 4 Irrefutable Keys to Church Growth

Randolph Jason

Charles Spurgeon’s 4 Irrefutable Keys to Church Growth by LARRY TOMCZAK for Charisma News Charles Spurgeon has rightly been acclaimed as the “prince of preachers.” Apostles, prophets, pastors, evangelists and teachers honor him as probably history’s greatest pastoral leader. Mr. Spurgeon had a megachurch before the term existed. He ministered weekly to over 10,000 in his Metropolitan Tabernacle pulpit without amplification or the benefit of social media. Ministering over four decades, he’s considered one of Christianity’s most prolific communicators. It’s unprecedented that his 63 volumes of over 4,000 sermons are still…

Razing of Jerusalem in 70 AD by Pastor Chuck Baldwin On the eve of His crucifixion at the belligerent behest of the Pharisees and Jews, the Lord Jesus Christ pronounced this prophecy upon the city of Jerusalem: O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. (Matthew 23:37, 38 KJV) Our Lord then spent the next…

THE SLAVERY OF THE FLESH by Dave Jenkins for Servants of Grace Galatians 4:8–11, “8 Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. 9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years! 11 I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.” Forgetting the…

2 PLACES IN THE BIBLE THAT TEACH JESUS IS GOD

Randolph Jason

2 PLACES IN THE BIBLE THAT TEACH JESUS IS GOD by Caleb Wait for Core Christianity Jesus of Nazareth carries many titles; an enlightened teacher, a wise sage, the most famous figure in history, the list goes on. Regardless if one is a follower of his teaching, he is admired by the world. However, our view of Jesus can often be obscured by his universal admiration and the normalization of Judeo-Christian values in the culture. We are so used to seeing his words embroidered on decorative tapestries that it is…

Randolph Jason

This Could Be the Church’s Finest Hour by Michael L. Brown for Ask Dr Brown The bad news comes pouring in by the minute. America is divided. America is confused. America is angry. America is messed up – deeply so. And despite the many good things happening in our nation today – and they are happening by the millions – the good is outweighed by the bad. There is more darkness than light, more sin than godliness, more flesh than Spirit. From the inner cities to the suburbs and from nursery…

Cyborg Church: One Body, Many People

Randolph Jason

Cyborg Church: One Body, Many People by BRAD D. STRAWN AND WARREN S. BROWN for Christianity Today Recently I posted this on Facebook, “Answer with the first thing that comes to your mind, why do you go to church?” The vast majority of the answers were related to obtaining some kind of experience: closeness with God, worship, to be fed, to obtain knowledge. The far and away number one answer was “for community/fellowship.” Yet I wonder whether what these experiences have in common, even the desire for community, is the…

The Crucial Differences Between Secular and Kingdom Churches

Randolph Jason

The Crucial Differences Between Secular and Kingdom Churches by JOSEPH MATTERA for Charisma News The objective I have in this article is to illustrate the role and function of the two ekklessias mentioned in Scripture as highlighted in the narrative of the church of Ephesus in Acts 19. The True Ekklesia As many of you already know and understand, the word ekklesia is used by Jesus, as seen in Matthew 16:16, to describe His followers when He launched the kingdom of God. The biblical meaning of ekklesia has to do with the community of Jesus’s disciples…
