ChurchWorks: How You Function, Part 2
Sunday, June 8th, 2008 : By Dan Miller
In Segment one of this series, we took three weeks to examine the marks of a God-owned Church (Knowing Who You Are). Last week we began segment two (Knowing How You Function), and addressed how our oneness as a church is expressed through our distinctness in our spiritual gifting. Today we will continue to see, based on account of what Christ has done in the atonement, how we can now shape each other with such effectiveness as to actually contribute to the spiritual health of one another.

It’s Resurrection Day!
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 : By Dan Miller
Jesus had a way of showing up in the midst of crisis and make what seemed to be the end just the beginning. Today we celebrate this hope in the fact that Jesus rose from the dead. The subject of resurrection was nothing new to Jesus. Remember Lazarus? (see John 11). Jesus had been told Lazarus is sick, so he waited. A good friend… waiting… the ability to heal? This seemed very odd. When Jesus finally arrives, Lazarus has been dead four days.

In waiting four days Jesus removes any doubt that …
