Introduction
An
In the Kingdom of God, the individual who follows God must be founded in God.
The individual that is rooted in God impacts the family.
My Grandmother was big on “home training.”
She understood that your home instruction impacted all other societal entities.
The home and church are interconnected because God emphasizes home training in Deuteronomy 6.
The family rooted in God impacts the Church.
One of the foundations of the individual must be his understanding of the makeup of the Church and the mission of the church.
A misunderstanding of the makeup or nature of the church hurts the individual and halts the mission of the church.
To be a member of the Church, you must be in Christ.
If you are in Christ you are a member of the church.
Unity in the Church is predicated on knowing the Composition (nature) of the Church and the Cause (mission) of the church.
You cannot be united/unified if you are not apart, or possess understanding of that which you are apart.
Makeup of The Church
What is the church?
Church Definition
Matthew 6:13-
It is not a building!!
The classical greek definition is an assembly of any kind for any purpose.
Christ took a general definition and made it particular and purposeful.
Matthew 16:13-19
Christ defines the Church
contrary to Catholic belief the Church is founded on Christ alone.
“This Rock” has to do the Peter’s confession of who Christ is.
Don’t ignore the personal pronoun “my” Church in v 18
Peter gives us further definition regarding the makeup of the Church and clarifies misunderstanding of who the Rock is.
Example of Scripture interpreting Scripture
1 Peter 2:4-
Christ is the Living stone, the Rock mentioned in
Peter describes the person and importance of this Stone.
Have you ever seen a living rock?
1 Peter 2:5
He then moves to our relationship to this Stone
We also are alive
We are a Chip off the Old block Living Stones
“Being built up as a Spiritual house”
Christ is the Rock and we are a chip off the old block.
we are organisms in the organization.
meaning we are interdependent.
Because a building block is of no use by itself.
Peter says we are built up as a “spiritual house”
Single stones come together to erect a spiritual house.
Which brings about the issue of Church membership
There is the Universal Church (Invisible Church, The Church at Rest) and the Local Church (Visible, Militant Church)
You cant be apart of one and not the other!
As the Bible communicates.
The Universal Church is defined as the invisible body of all believers.
You become a member of the Universal Church when you accept Christ as Lord and Savior.
The Universal Church consists of the Saints who have died and the saints who are present on earth.
The Local Church is the physical
He took the generic meaning of church “people who gather for any purpose” and gave it a particular meaning.
Definition of Church is this: A people called by God, gathered around His Son, filled with The Spirit, and sent to proclaim His name among the Nations.
Regularly meeting
Fellowship (edification) () ()
Evangelism (1 Cor 11:26)
Worship (John 4:24)
Mission of the Church
1 Peter 2:5
What do we as members of the Church do?
“Holy Priesthood”- set aside for His service
The priest were the ones who were to mediate between God and humanity.
We are the militant Church on the move for God for the purpose of reconciling men unto God
Antithesis
The church has buildings but little boldness.
The church has numbers but little nerve.
The church has comfort but little courage.
The church has status but little spirit.
The church has prestige but little power.1
This is antithetical to the call of the Church because we are a priesthood unto God.
Where is your service unto God?
1 Peter 2:6-
1 Peter 2:6
Remember is that Christ said “upon this rock I will build my Church”
The religious men of His time rejected the foundation of God’s plan.
They were trying to establish a Kingdom according to their plans.
The World is trying to build without Christ
Jesus is the Engineer, Architect, and General Contractor of this project called the Church.
“Cornerstone”- what we believe in
Any Christian Church is built on Christ
The Cornerstone of a building gave Symmetry, strength and significance.
1 Peter 2:9
“Chosen Race” -selected Family
“royal Priesthood”- Priests belonging to God Kingdom
“Holy Nation, a people for God’s own possession”- The same ethnic group sharing the same culture.
Your DNA has been changed.
No longer Sinner but Saint
All of theses statements communicate the intimacy and oneness of the Church
We are
Built together
Bound together
This is a committment
Can you be a believer and not be a part of the Church?
I believe in Jesus but I don’t go to Church.
You cant say yes to Jesus but no to the Church
A saved man will love what Jesus loved.
Jesus loved the Church so much that He gave Himself up for Her.
Don’t confuse the Building with the Church
Just because you attend service or come to the building doesn’t mean you are part of the Church.
