Introduction
Catfish Video
For those who don’t immediately catch on explain to them that the idea is that deception of the masses can occur and that deception can be known as the “truth”.
lure (someone) into a relationship by means of a fictional online persona.
"he was being catfished by a cruel prankster"
If you were to ask 50 random people what the church was, it is very likely that you would get 50 different answers.
But when speaking about the church in which you can find; salvation, truth, and God, certain standards must be met.
Today we will look into God’s word to see exactly how church is defined in the Bible.
What Is The Church?
Church defined
When we see the word church in the Bible, in the original text it would be seen as ἐκκλησία (ekklesia).
ἐκκλησία - Assembly, gathering, community, organization, congregation, church
We also see that the word ἐκκλησία is a type of compound word.
ἐκ- Out of
καλέω- To Call, To Summon
So we see here that this word has multiple meanings.
The context in which it falls will help to define what it is that we are talking about.
Jesus promises to build a group of people who are called out of something.
And nothing will be able to prevail against it!
The roots of God calling people did not start here.
God asked Abram (Abraham) to do something and he was obedient and full of faith.
God then made him a promise that his descendants would be a great nation.
And they would be a blessing to all people one day.
God called Abram answered.
The people would later grow into a mighty nation.
They would be the called out people of God.
They would be his people and Yahweh was their God!
Eph 1:3-
God would later bring about the action of his son Jesus coming to this earth in the form of an Israelite man.
Through the lineage of Abraham.
It is through Him that all people could be adopted into this lineage as Children of God.
As an assembly of believers with some things in common.
Called out as the Israelites were called out of Egyptian bondage, we would be called out of the bondage of sin.
What do they have in Common?
eph 4
One Lord
Jesus is Lord.
The church of the Bible has ONLY one Lord.
Jesus Christ is the only avenue to God the father.
Jesus builds the church on the fact that he is the son of God.
One Faith
The church of the Bible has a faith that is believed upon by the whole group.
This faith is in the content of the Gospel.
Evidence is found here..
eph 4 7
eph 4
The belief in the son of God being Jesus, and fulfilling the Gospel must be believed for the body A.K.A to be the Church of the Bible.
This faith, or blind trust, that we have is in the Gospel/Good News that Jesus died, was buried, and then rose from the dead.
If you are the Church of the Bible then you must be united in this faith.
The idea is that we all believe the same thing according to the Gospel content.
The Gospel is also important because it saves.
The Gospel is also important because it saves.
One Baptism
Root Word: βάπτω (Bapto)
The root word for baptism means to dip, submerge, or bury.
Within context of the scriptures there are many baptisms spoken about.
We must find the correct one for the Church of the Bible.
These people within this context had been a part of John’s baptism.
Which was a baptism for repentance.
Not one that would do what we as members of the Church of the Bible believe it to be.
The baptism that the church of the Bible has in common is that it is one for the remission of sins.
But what are we buried/dipped/submerged into?
acts 8 35-
We are buried in water for the remission of our sins.
1 pet 3 18-
Baptism saves
The Church is a called out group of people who are of one mind.
Who Established the Church?
Jesus promised to build this group of people based on the fact that he was the son of God.
Who make up the church?
Who makes up the Church?
Church = Disciples = Christians
Who are the leaders in the church?
act 14 21-
Elders are a biblical appointed part of leadership.
1 tim
Deacons are an office of the Church of the Bible.
2 tim 4 1-
Here Timothy as minister is instructed on what to do.
Titus as minister is instructed on what he is to do.
No where in a mature NT biblical church does it name any others in church leadership.
People may speak of other things but Paul discussed the things that will last and things that will cease upon maturity of the Church.
1 cor 13 8-13
The mature Biblical Church is made up of the Elders, Deacons, Minister, and Christians.
They are the “Who” of the church.
When Was The Church Established?
The Biblical NT Church was established on the day of Pentecost.
Word derived from the Greek word pentēkostē (fiftieth) which stood for the festival celebrated on the 50th day after Passover.
In the OT this festival, called Shavuoth (Weeks) in Judaism, is referred to as the Feast of Weeks (; ) because it occurs 7 weeks after Passover.[1]
