Church of God LifeBuilders

This week’s podcast is Unbroken Marriage Relationships by Dr. Robert Sheppard of the North Cleveland Church of God.

This week’s podcast is “Developing a Family-Centered Congregation” by Dr. John Kie Vining, Director of Family Ministries for the Church of God.

This Sunday, January 7, is the Church of God’s first “Declaration of Faith Sunday.” It is the time when we stop, study and celebrate our Declaration of Faith.

In our Lifebuilders Essentials discipleship course, we make the following statement:

A church is ultimately defined by what it knows to be true, not what it thinks feels good. Because of the large number of denominations in existence, many are afraid to even discuss beliefs (usually termed doctrine.) However, as the great Bible teacher J. Vernon McGee used to say, “Those that won’t stand for something will fall for anything.”

The Church of God Declaration of Faith was a part of LifeBuilders Essentials from its first draft. We believe that learning the foundational beliefs of our church is a central part of discipleship. We invite you to take a look at LifeBuilders Essentials for the men of your church.

Also:  see Dr. G. Dennis McGuire talk about the Declaration of Faith as part of our podcast.

This week’s podcast is Preserving the Heritage by David Roebuck of the Pentecostal Resource Center in Cleveland, TN.

This is our last podcast for 2006. We will resume our podcast in January. We want to take this opportunity to wish all of you a blessed, Christ-centered Christmas and a 2007 that will make a difference for the kingdom of God.

For our podcast this week, we feature Art Rhodes and Rick Folino’s talk on “Pension Planning and Retirement.” Art Rhodes is the President of the Church of God Benefits Board.
