Community: Our Spiritual Habitat, Part II

Sunday, March 14th, 2010 : By Dan Miller

The “Green Church” is a healthy church. The health of a church is not dictated by where it is located, the style of the service it has, the programs it offers, or the types of people that attend. A church that is green will have characteristics that relate to the character and priorities of Jesus Christ. What are these characteristics? Each characteristics or footprint finds itself rooted in the desire of Jesus to have a church that represents Him on this earth. It is our hope and prayer that our church will be refreshed and strengthened in our desire to be green for the glory of God. MP3 download.

What Makes a Healthy Church

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009 : By Eric Farr

We had a recent graceTALK question

I recently visited another church with a friend who wanted to start going to church again. They (husband and wife) wanted a church that was big so that they could “ease” into the whole church thing. So, I went along to encourage them. We went to a “mega” church in the area and I was blown away. It was like a rock concert! The message was good (in a creative sense) but seemed very shallow. I didn’t even need to use my Bible. So, now I am in a pickle. I want my friend to go to church, but I fear that they will see Christianity is a warped way by going to this
