What will be taught?

Introduction

We teach the Bible. This may sound too simplistic but it is true. You will find that our sermons and lessons are truly based upon the Bible. You will see that our worship and service is according to the pattern found in the New Testament. Note the following examples.

The Gospel

We teach the gospel. While sin leads to being lost, the gospel leads to being saved. It is good news! Even with our weaknesses, God is eternally loving, full of grace and mercy. He desires for us to repent of our sins and turn to Him to be saved (1 Tim. 2:3-4; 2 Pet. 3:9).

There are conditions to becoming a Christian:

  1. Hear (Rom. 10:17)
  2. Believe (Acts 18:8)
  3. Repent (Acts 17:30)
  4. Confess (Rom. 10:8-11)
  5. Be Baptized (Acts 2:38)

The Church

We teach that Christ is the founder, head, and savior of His church (Matt. 16:18; Col. 1:18). It is composed of members, who are called Christians. People who obey the gospel, He adds to His church. According to His authority, Christians share the gospel as they live for Christ.

Worship

We teach that God is worthy of our worship. Jesus said that "true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth" (John 4:23-24).

In the first century, Christians worshiped by:

  1. Singing (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16)
  2. Praying (Acts 2:42)
  3. Teaching (2 Tim. 4:1-2)
  4. Communing (Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 11:23-26)
  5. Giving (1 Cor. 16:1-2)

The first day of the week is called the Lord's Day. It is on this day that we assemble to partake of the Lord's Supper in communion, and give as we have been prospered. As we do when we assemble together on other days, as on the first day of the week, we sing, pray, and teach.

Conduct

We teach that we should live moral and ethical lives. The grace of God teaches us that "we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age" (Titus 2:12).
