Message: “038 Chosen in Christ” from YouTube
A message from the series “Five Minutes With the Word.” The church is a body of people who have been called by God through the gospel, called to “come out from among them and be ye separate” (2 Corinthians 6:17).

Message: “037 The Church is the Called Out” from YouTube
A message from the series “Five Minutes With the Word.” The word “church” literally means “the called out.” Like other words in the scriptures, the basic meaning of the word “to call or to call out” might be applied to many things, including an unlawful mob of people.
Message: “036 The Lord Added to the Church” from YouTube
A message from the series “Five Minutes With the Word.” Contrary to the belief of some, Jesus did not promise to build His church on Peter.

A message from the series “Five Minutes With the Word.” Solomon recognized that the “heaven and heaven of heavens could not contain God,” much less the temple he had made (1 Kings 8:27). How do we think God could dwell personally in each child of His on earth?

Message: “032 Baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ” from YouTube
A message from the series “Five Minutes With the Word.” Is there some special power in saying the words “Jesu Christ”? Jewish exorcists in Ephesus thought so. They attempted to cast out a demon by saying, “I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches” (Acts 19:13-16).
