Leading the Church

Why we should go to Church, when to leave a Church?
Do you want to go to church, but feel lost there? Do you dread going to church? Do you wonder why or even if you should go to church?

Hebrews chapter 3 gives us a template on doing a successful home church: For any church to be successful, big or small, in a cathedral or in a home, we have to have a correct vision and alignment, to know why and what we are doing and where we are going.
Why and how do we do our home church?
The point of any church is that we must heed God's call, His plan, purpose, and principles all associated as His children and representatives. Why? We belong...
