    Pilgrim’s Way

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 1, 2021
     | 2,635 views

    We all have family and friends who are members of the local church and may not be a member of the universal church. So I feel the need to teach a little on what it means to be a member of the universal church.

    In Matthew 16:18 Jesus said, "You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." The church here refers to the universal church, which comprises all the redeemed believers who are born again by the Spirit, without limit of time ...read more

    Jesus’ design for His church is that…every member is a minister.

    Deals with the subject of every member of the Body of Christ’s need for every other member.

    First sermon of the series "One Body...many Members" on 1 Corinthians Chapter 1. This Sermon focus on what causes divisions in the Church. The preference of preaching style can cause lack of power in the Church

    Divisions in the Church Today we start studying the book of 1st Corinthians. Corinth’s importance in the ancient world was considerable. It was the densely populated capital of the Roman province of Achaia (a prefecture within contemporary Greece bears the name still), a busy commercial ...read more

    Is Official Or Formal Church Membership In A Local Church According To Scripture – Part 2 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on May 3, 2025
     | 251 views

    Formal church membership that involves special membership and voting rights is contentious. In this Part 2, I open up the matter to show how out of sync the matter is with the membership of the one Body of Christ, and the discrimination. We delve into some scriptures to bring this out.

    IS OFFICIAL OR FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE – PART 2 In Part 1 we looked at the practice some churches have of there being an official local church membership that divides “members”, adherents and attendees into “MEMBERS” and “NON-MEMBERS” depending if one has ...read more

     | 157 views

    Regarding this matter of formal church membership, it is examined alongside mainly Ephesian verses. The subject is opened up to understand the New Testament practice of being members of one another and the equality in the Body of Christ. Membership of Christ’s Body covers it all.

    IS OFFICIAL/FORMAL CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN A LOCAL CHURCH ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE? – PART 3 Part 3 (there are 4 parts) continues to look at various scriptures in this study of formal church membership over and above the one membership that unites all believers into one Body, and makes them all ...read more

    This message highlights the biblical importance of being a member of a local church. It was delivered on membership Sunday before presenting the new members to the congregation.

    New Members Sunday “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household” (Eph 2:19) “…so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually * members one of another.” (Rom 12:5) Introduction When you become a believer ...read more

    The Body Of Christ – Part Ii Series

    Contributed by Chuck Brooks on Mar 11, 2016
     | 6,067 views

    There is only one body, but many members. We are all dependent on one another. It is not just the pastor’s job to care for the members of the body—that would be humanly impossible. Each member must function as he or she is called.

    We continue our study of His Church and begin by looking at 1 Corinthians 12. (1 Cor 12:13 NKJV) For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body; whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free; and have all been made to drink into one Spirit. 1 Cor 12:14 For in fact the body is not one ...read more

    His basic problem with the church in Ephesus is that even though church members had stood fast against evil and false teaching, they had left their “first love”—their basic love for Christ and for one another.

     | 5,414 views

    The purpose of the family of God is not to meet my personal needs, it's to meet our corporate needs. Thus, through the unity of the Church, my needs are part of the who body, but cannot override and work against any other member.

    “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any fellowship with the Holy Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion…” Dearly beloved of the Lord, hear St. Paul’s entreaty: “If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any ...read more
