    This is the second sermon in our "Jesus Built" Series. It examines the pattern that we have in scripture of the organization of Jesus church, universal and local,and talks about how changes in the organization lead to apostasy

The Jerusalem church gives us an example of this. We are told in Acts 2:42 that these Christians “continued steadfastly in the ...read more

    When Paul left Crete, there were certain things that still needed to be set in order; there were false teachers to be silenced, and there was the pressing need for recognized spiritual guides in the assemblies. He left Titus to handle these matters.

Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears ...read more
