Hi, I'm David Maher. I live in Cookeville, TN. I attend The River Community Church where I am a bi-vocational (I am also a computer consultant) staff member, responsible for our leadership development ministry.
This is a topic that I really look forward to studying. I think it is very important for us to understand what the vision is for the church. I look forward to learning from everyone in the forum as we go through the next several weeks together.

Praise God,

Several things have hapened in ou community whereby I feel the need to stir up the hearts of the people to be greater witnesses for Christ. Am looking foward to this study even though I will be doing some travelng during these next weeks, will "catch up" when I return.

I love the Lord, & His people, world-wide, & enjoy talking about the goodness of our Lord, & the issues concerning the church today.

Today, I help out on a couple Christian boards/forums on ezboard; one, Prophecy Fellowship, the other Warriors of God, & love it! <br /><br />Looking forward to jumping back in here with the newest study offered by Pastor Ralph.<br /><br />Looking forward also to seeing [here] some familiar names from past studies...and meeting some new ones<br /><br />blessing in Christ, <br /><br />Jaunita

Hi All. This book has one of my favorite chapters of the Bible. Chapter 4 where Paul tells us how we should be acting as a church family. It is really interesting that many of the issues Paul addressed two thousand years ago in the churches of that time are still popping up. Oh well..there's some saying about history repeating itself. Look forward to this study. I hope I can contribute more than I was able to on the Lamb of God study.
Blessings!! /

Hi, this is my first time doing a bible study online and I am looking forward to it. I attend First Baptist Church of Alexandria in Alexandria, VA and do In-Reach for my Sunday School class. We have been studying the book of Ephesians and I really wanted to dig deeper into it. I love studying God's word. No matter where in the bible I look, there is always something that speaks directly to me no matter what my circumstances are.

I thank God for the online study and I know that it will truly be a blessing!

Greetings Everyone! My wife and I are being raised up as Christian Education Ministers here in Maryland at a 300 member church. When I am not teaching at a cell group on Monday nights or teaching at church on a Wednesday night, I can be found online evangelizing as the Spirit leads.
I have been following Pastor Ralph's lessons for some years now although I am usually just sitting in the back seat soaking up the knowledge and good discussions. May God richly bless Pastor Ralph for his dedicated service to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Our online ministry's web site has been having some technical difficulties at the host provider but we hope to rectify that soon. In the interim, perhaps the downtime will enable me to jump in the front seat and join in these discussions for this study. Looking forward to the "Vision for the Church" teachings. By hearing from God during this study, we will all learn a little more about what the Lord God had in mind for His Church.
Blessings to all as we begin what I am sure will be another one of Pastor Ralph's excellent studies. May he be annointed and led by God Almighty as he pens the words for each lesson.
In His Service, Pastor Dave

Hi . . .I am really looking forward to this study. I have done about 4 studies with Pastor Ralph and they are fabulous. I live in Canada and my church is going through a re-visioning process. I am looking forward to growing through this material and study in order to help facilitate change in our church. May God open our eyes and our hearts to His leading.

Hi. I'm Gail from Louisiana. I'm married and the mother of one 22-year old daughter. I am especially looking forward to this bible study on the church although I have enjoyed and grown by all other studies in the past several years and have taken them all very seriously. Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to equip the saints of God, Pastor Ralph. Looking forward to reading the posts as time permits and possibly sharing at times.

Hi, I'm Dan from Souther California. I worship at Calvary Chapel Redlands with my wife Janya and our two children, Ben and Samantha. This study is quite timely for me as I am going through a time of disillusionment with my fellow Christians at church. Knowing that the problem lies with me, I'm certain that God will use this study to set me straight...He always does as I study His word 
God Bless you all.
God Bless you all.
