    Anxiety and concern afflict us and cause worry. God does not want that for us. Peter speaks of casting our cares on the Lord, also the Psalms, and the Lord on earth spoke on the same matter in the Sermon on the Mount. Humbling ourselves under the MIGHTY hand of God is a necessity.

    3 John 1:9 I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. 10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, ...read more

     | 1,317 views

    the Bible clearly teaches that Christians are members of the Body of Christ. But is local church membership Biblical? We examine this in this study. This is not a typical sermon, but more of a Bible study lesson for our congregation.

That’s not to say it is bad, wrong, or sinful to have formal membership rolls, as having such is very practical and quite helpful to local ...read more
