Sermon Series: Blueprint for the Church

What is the Blueprint for the Church? Jesus Christ established the church and in the Scriptures we are told what the church of Christ is to be. In this 2016 Fall series we are going examine the blueprint for the church by looking into the different aspects what it means to be the community of faith. We will see the value, nature and purposes of the church and how it calls us as God's children to be the faithful people of God.


Highlighting the Early Church-Service (gifting), Generosity, Worship

  The Early Church sets an example in how they came together in worship, service and generosity.  This is not a quaint sentiment that the church today should ignore.  In this last message in our Blueprint for The Church series we look further into Acts 2:42-47...

Highlighting the Early Church-Fellowship, Ordinances, Prayer

The Solid Church Promotes Spiritual Growth

  When we want to measure a child’s height, we pull out a tape measure and measure how tall he or she is.  When it comes to the church, how do we measure our growth? Is the church growing if there are more in attendance, or we register more baptisms?  These...

The Solid Church Pursues Holiness

One of the amazing things about grace is that it places every believer in a position before God of holiness.  This is remarkable given the sinfulness of our hearts.  It is the task of every Christian to pursue holiness in their lives.  As we look at the Blueprint for...

The Solid Church Has A Biblical Understanding Of Evangelism

  How does a person come to know Jesus Christ as their Saviour?  It’s not a trick question but one that vitally important to being a solid church.  In this message we explore the believers role in Evangelism and how God involves Himself in saving...

The Solid Church is Genuinely Converted

It is not uncommon to hear of people who have claimed to be Christians, suddenly declare that they no longer believe in Christ.  Is it because they were true Christians, was their so-called faith fabricated or something in between?  A genuine conversion to Christ is...

The Solid Church Understands the Gospel

  What is the Gospel?  Depending upon who you ask, you might get a wide variety of answers.  For many Christians, they have been transformed by the Gospel but have trouble articulating what it is.  For the Church to be solid it is vital that we understand the...

The Solid Church is Committed to Sound Doctrine

A solid church is one that does the work that Christ has called it to do, and to live in this world as salt and light. But how do we begin to do this? It starts from a commitment to a set of beliefs from which everything else flows. Staying on the path that God has...

The Solid Church Prioritizes the Bible

The Bible richly uses metaphors to communicate the wonders of God and his interaction with his creation.  The people of God called the Church are called a Branch, Building and Body.  In this Blueprint for the Church message series we take a closer look at the...

Who’s Church is it anyway?

The Church has a long history of trying to figure out who is to guide it.  Often the church has done it right, at other times they have not.  When we understand who is the head of the church we experience how wonderful it is to be the church.  In this study, we look...

The Church is Valuable

The world has changed so much, is the church still relevant? Jesus Christ established the church nearly two-thousand years ago. Does an institution this ancient still hold value for our lives today? In this first message in our Blueprint for the church sermon series,...
