This Thing We Call Church
Have you ever given any thought to where the current way we “do church” originated? Is there something God ordained about maintaining the same format for church services every Sabbath? Is it hidden in one of Paul’s or Timothy’s or one of the other apostle’s writings? Did Jesus utter the words I will build my church and it shall consist of three opening songs, an opening prayer, followed by a sermonnette, another song, a main sermon, one to three more closing songs, and a closing prayer, every Sabbath, week after week, year after year? Can’t find it? Is it possible the translators left it out?
Of course this is silly talk. Jesus, nor His disciples, nor the early church ordained any particular format for worship. You can look but you won’t find it.
Featured Message
Embracing Your Thorn
In I Corinthians 12 Paul speaks of a thorn that he was given to bear. He called it a messenger from Satan. But surprisingly, rather than speak of the hardship it has brought him, he focuses on the pleasure he took in it. In this message titled "Embracing Your Thorn" Tony Stith discusses how we can embrace our thorns by understanding God's purpose for allowing them in our lives.

This Sabbath at New Horizon
jGod gives us some glorious promises promises for our future. But for the present He asks us to gut it out, to stay and struggle in this world against the enemy. Tony Stith shares some encouragement in this struggle we all endure in a message titled "No Guts, No Glory."
