Uncovering Truth

Today many are re-thinking church.Is it ok to re-think church? What is it? What was it designed for? And how has it changed from Jesus intention?Today some people go to church and that's ok for them, but there are others who don't attend a church building but still have a heart and a desire to follow Christ. In this video we look at what actually is the church and is it similar to todays church.

Some may think that when you leave the established church that you no longer believe in God, Christ, the bible, etc.But that is not the case for me (Bruce Kurtzer - former pastor).Here I explain just somethings that I still believe.

I willing surrendered my Assemblies of God credential and left the movement due to not believing that that speaking in tongues is the initial evidence of being baptized in the Holy Spirit. For years I faked it, I spoke it and this is part of my story of repentance and leaving the AOG.

Has how we currently "do church" been distorted by our culture and society?

Freedom is something that we all want.But maybe some that think they have it have missed it.Does religion bring freedom?

To go or NOT to go to Church on the SABBATH?What is the purpose of the sabbath?

With some churches and ministries today talking about revival, praying for revival and seeming to see revival as an ultimate goal; we need to ask what is revival? Some say it's a full church; others say its the Holy Spirit working in power and still others may liken it to long extended meetings. In this episode we explore "what is revival?"

In this episode we take a brief look at alternative lifestyles and ask the question did Jesus, His disciples and the early church live an alternative lifestyle. And if they did should we today?

In this episode we expose issues around tithing, the giving of 10% of your income. And how some churches wrongly expect their members to tithe. How this can negatively effect our New Testament giving. But even more is that how most churches are abusing the tithes they have received. Is your church, is your pastor/leader robbing God? Get the facts from this episode and decide the answer for yourself.

A short, illustrative, important message.

Malachi chapter 3 is a verse that often gets used to wrongly teach that Christians should tithe. In this episode we examine 3 wrong teachings that some churches teach about tithing, from Malachi 3. The wrong teachings include: - Christians should tithe. - You are cursed in you don't tithe. - If you tithe, it must go to your local church.

In this episode we examine the scripture in Hebrews 10:25 and how it is often falsely used to judge people that have stopped going to church. What does it really mean to forsake the gathering?

Say a prayer, raise your hand and come to the front and you will saved, says the preacher; but what does the Bible teach about giving your heart to Jesus?

The story of a pastors journey from leaving the traditional church scene to serving in a more organic, simple way.

Today almost all traditional churches have a similar paradigm (pattern) consisting of music, offering and sermon. In this episode we compare the traditional church paradigm to the early church paradigm. What is different? Could we do church different and still be church?

A short clip that I made to appeal to pastors to take care of themselves and family and to shred the pressure that the church and their movement places on them. A must listen to for any pastor, leader or Crhristian.
