"description":"Brother Zac shares about New Covenant Churches that hold the truth and mystery of the Gospel. These truths only come through revelation from the Holy Spirit from God. There is a great difference to build a Church simply on good ideas and fellowship or on revelation from God. He explains on the body of Christ work in local bodies a fellowship where there is life.",

"description":"Christianity is not about money, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s about people. Sadly modern Christendom has been overwhelmed with the salesman who sells Christ as ware and treats the holy things as a way to profit financially.150 It does not take much discernment for the worldly person to see the counterfeit preacher on TV who makes money look like their god.151 Yet, sadly, believers who are asleep spiritually, and have not been seeking the Lord, are given over to this delusion which is coming upon them in masses.152 False teachers abound and the saints are sleeping. There needs to be a clarion cry across all nations that God is not for sale and is against those who love money and equate righteousness with financial gain and profit.",
"description":"In many of the Epistles, the Apostles began with the wonderful phrase: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Grace and mercy.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d486 If God began writing many of His holy Letters to us in this manner, then we should do also in our own correspondence with others in the body of Christ. In the beginning of the Book of Jude we read, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d487 Do we find it easy to wish mercy on others in abundance or are we quick to condemn? One that finds it easy to judge others has lost the perspective that he was shown much mercy from God. For it is by grace and mercy we have been saved by the blood of God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Son. In the Book of Titus it says: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d",

"description":"As you gather together under the Headship of Jesus Christ may you be open to the Lord, by His Spirit, to see godly leaders raised up that are humble and serve the body of Christ. Not leaders that seek their own honor or use believers to exalt themselves. Rather, servant leaders who emulate Jesus Christ and desire others in the body to come to full maturity in the Lord. Hence, in the end, leaders raise up other leaders, for that is the goal; true servanthood\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s aim is for others. To submit to such leaders who share in the character of the early Apostles and the Lord will be of great benefit and blessing to gatherings.

"description":"Paul Washer explains what an assembly should look for when seeking a pastor. Apostasy is so widespread that a pastor must be in total submission to Biblical truth. False prophets come in several forms, and apostasy is manifest in a variety of ways, so the pastor must hold and teach sound doctrine. But remember that doctrine is the means, not the end. The end is that the life of Jesus Christ is lived out in each one of his people (48 minutes).",

Does he work hard? How does he discipline himself for the purpose of Godliness? Don\u2019t be persuaded just by a pleasant personality, Mr Washer warns. (29 minutes)",

"description":"May 16, 2004 - We are facing in the Church of Jesus Christ a crisis of faith. The hardest part of faith is the last half hour and just before the victory we give up turning away from God with a evil heart of unbelief. God will lead us into places where we are shut up and nothing short of a miracle will get us out of the situation. It is in these places of hopeless crisis that God will come through to glorify His name. We must stand on the promises of God with a heart full of faith declaring that God is faithful. Pastor Wilkerson examines the lives of Saul, Solomon and Samson as men of God who went into a crises of faith and failed the test. Our faith will be tried, as by fire.

While Luther was abscent from his church in Wittenberg he was replaced by his co-pastor who was zealous for reform and implimented the ordinances he read about in the Bible, such as communion. When Luther returned he rebuked his co-pastor who was only following in Luthers own steps but a bit to energetically for Luther.
