  <title>Jesus' Critique of the Church and our Response</title>
  <description>In part 4 of our 4 part series on the church we complete Jesus' critique of the church in Revelation 2 and 3 and discuss our response.  Now that we know what the church is for and what has happened in the church throughout history, what do we need to do about it?</description>

  <title>Jesus' Critique on the Church Part 1</title>
  <description>In part 3 of our 4 part series on the church we look at the 7 letters of Christ to the church from Revelation 2-3.  We have seen that God's design for the church was to teach His word and to develop Christian fellowship.  As we examine the letters to the churches, we will see that they are related to God's design for His church.</description>

  <title>God Creates the Church</title>
  <description>God gave us a design for His church.  Many churches today do not follow that design.  Some say it won't work in today's world.  In the first of four studies we will look at how God designed His church and what His design will produce.</description>

  <title>Jesus Fulfills the Law Matthew 5:19-20</title>
  <description>Jesus fulfilled the law and in doing showed that the Old Testament was the true word of God.  God's standards are high but we need to be held to those high standards not those of man.</description>

  <title>You are the Salt of the Earth Matt 5:13-16</title>
  <description>You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.  Is the world influencing the church or is the church influencing the world?  I think we would get a different answer if we abided by this passage.</description>
