From House To House

Contributed by Boomer Phillips on Feb 17, 2022

Based on a New Testament understanding of a church, and based on the ministry of the early apostles, we learn that believers did not always assemble in a public place of worship. Much of the time they met in one another’s homes.

This morning I want to address the topic of “doing church.” and I’m going to begin by asking the question, “Where are Christians supposed to assemble together for worship and fellowship?” In Acts 17:24, Paul declared, “God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and ...read more

Marriage–avoiding Fornication

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Jun 26, 2024

Practical instructions for righteous behavior. The assembly at Corinth was having problems with division, worldly sinful behaviors within and how to cope with non-believers. Satan was still deceiving them as he continues deception today.

We have studied, in past weeks, practical instructions for righteous behavior in the assemblies of God. Apostle Paul wrote letters to a mixed assembly of Jews and Gentiles at Corinth; new converts, being young in the faith, and older, more seasoned members in the faith of Jesus Christ. The assembly ...read more

Perfect

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 26, 2024

In our quest to behave in a righteous manner in the assembly of God, we must reteach ourselves the true meanings of certain terms we believe we already know. Let us investigate the term PERFECT.

In our quest to behave in a righteous manner in the assembly of God, we must reteach ourselves the true meanings of certain terms we believe we already know.

The Right Use Of Tongues Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Oct 14, 2024

What is the primary purpose of tongues? What limitations does Paul place on the exercise of tongues in the general assembly? Did Paul desire believers to speak in tongues (1 Cor. 14: 5, 18, 39)?

Intro The gifts of the Spirit are an essential part of God’s plan for His Church. When the Church is operating in the power of the Spirit, lives are transformed, and cultures are turned toward godliness. When the Church tries to do its work through human ingenuity and carnal resources, we lose ...read more

Elders In The Congregation Part 2 Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 20, 2018

When Paul left Crete, there were certain things that still needed to be set in order; there were false teachers to be silenced, and there was the pressing need for recognized spiritual guides in the assemblies. He left Titus to handle these matters.

Chapter 1, Verses 5-9 Title: Elders in the Congregation For this reason I left you in Crete, that you should set in order the things that are lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you— if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of ...read more

Is Church Attendance Important? There Is A Pandemic!

Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Mar 16, 2021

The results of the pandemic have affected so much around us. Many are living in fear instead of faith. The temptation to forsake public worship or assembling together is stronger today than I have experienced before.

Is Church Attendance Important? There is a Pandemic!

Divisions Over Spiritual Gifts

Contributed by Phillip Smith on Sep 11, 2024

Many divisions have occurred in Christian assemblies for centuries. Understanding or misunderstanding Spiritual Gifts given by grace to mankind from God has been the cause for divisions. Are these gifts still present today? Are they utilized properly?

Most of the time, assemblies of persons desiring to worship Almighty God will be filled with those who had been introduced to God by attending an assembly with their parents and grand-parents. However, some may be in attendance who never knew much concerning God and spiritual things. Now they are ...read more

The Result

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 19, 2017

The Party Crasher

Contributed by Michael Stark on Nov 21, 2019

Christ receives sinners. Just so, the assemblies of our Lord should be noted for welcoming those who are identified as sinners, since we each were once estranged from the Lord until He welcomed us.

“One of the Pharisees asked [Jesus] to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and reclined at table. And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, and standing behind ...read more
