Saved, Or Just Devout?

6/26/2016

 
     The opening verses of the tenth chapter of Acts give a rather glowing description of a man named Cornelius.  The first verse notes that Cornelius was a ranking officer, a centurion, in the Roman army at Caesarea.  The second verse describes him as, “A devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always.”  The next four verses depict Cornelius seeing an angel in a vision in answer to his prayers.  The angel gave Cornelius instructions to send to the city of Joppa for Simon Peter in order that Peter could come to Cornelius’ home and teach him and his household the gospel.  The rest of the chapter deals with God preparing Peter for the mission, the messengers from Cornelius traveling to Joppa, Peter entering the home of Cornelius, Cornelius recounting his vision for Peter, Peter teaching the gospel to those of Cornelius’ household, and their obedient reaction to that teaching, culminating in their being baptized.  Now, back to verse two..

How Can Worship Get Better?

6/12/2016

Church Discipline

6/5/2016

 
   The Wednesday night auditorium class has been using a study guide titled, “The Love Of Christ,” written by Richard Rogers and Bill Yasko for the Sunset International Bible Institute.  The fourteen lessons cover basic Christian doctrines, particularly focusing on the worship, work and structure of the church.  One lesson dealt with The Organizational Structure Of The Church.  That lesson included the work of elders, and within that section church discipline was discussed.
