Greatest Things in Life

Christianity 13

May 24, 2022 • The Gospel of Christ

Give

In John 10:10 Jesus said, “I came that you may have life and have it more abundantly.”

Today we're going to be considering: What are the greatest things of the Christian life? We hope that you'll stay tuned as we think about this motivational lesson on the great privileges of the Christian life. The greatest privilege of the Christian life is to be called sons and daughters of Almighty God. To be adopted into the family of the God of heaven is the greatest privilege we could ever have. In fact the Scripture says in 1 John 3:1, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us that we can be called children of God! And this we are!”

Bible Authority

February 22, 2024 • The Gospel of Christ

In this lesson we're thinking about the idea of evangelism, becoming a Christian, and our authority in religion. Why do we do what we do? Why do we not do some of the things that sometimes people do? What is our authority? What do we use as our source for why we do what we do? Our authority in religion today is God's truth. It is the truth that comes from God that is of supreme importance. It's the only thing that matters as it relates to salvation. Notice John 8:32. Jesus says, “And you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free.” What is it Jesus says will make you free? Is it my opinion, your opinion, some other man, book, writing or the ideas of some counsel of religious men? No. Jesus says, “The truth will make you free.” We see the importance of truth in being free from sin. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

Oneness of the Church

February 22, 2024 • The Gospel of Christ

Welcome to our study: Christianity Start to Finish. In this lesson, we're thinking about continuing the idea of our authority, and especially emphasizing it, as it relates to the New Testament and the church which Jesus Christ built. We're thinking about our authority in matters of salvation and matters of religion. Last time we noticed our authority comes from God. That authority is through Jesus Christ, His son. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to the apostles. They wrote and spoke what Jesus and God wanted them to, and today we have the word of God, which was written by the Holy Spirit through the apostles. It gives us ‘all truth’ which is able to save men and women today, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 2 Peter 1:3. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)

Characteristics of the Church

February 22, 2024 • The Gospel of Christ

Jesus said, “God is a spirit and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth,” John 4:23-24. We're so glad that you joined us for our study of acceptable worship in the church today- as it relates to Christianity start to finish. Just by way of reminder, we have noticed that in matters of religion, God and Jesus have all authority. ‘All authority,’ Jesus said, ‘has been given to Me.’ That authority for us is found in the Bible. We must not go beyond what is written, Revelation 22:18-19 and 2 John 9. As it relates to the church, we noticed in our last lesson that Jesus built it. “I will build My church.” It belongs to Him. It is His church, and it's singular in nature. Division and denominationalism are contrary to the plan that we find in the Bible. The Lord's church is organized with elders overseeing every local congregation and deacons who work under those elders. (The full transcript is available in the "Download Document" button above.)
