The church is a physical manifestation of God’s Kingdom on earth, it is a community that is made up of men and women who have accepted salvation, turned from their sinful lifestyles, and have entered into a covenant relationship with God. The church of God is not defined by denominations, buildings, or ministries but by people who are completely dedicated and committed to being proficient witnesses and representatives of Christ. The author of …show more content…

As the people of God, the church both locally and globally is made up of, “Those who are sanctified in Jesus Christ and called to be His holy people.” (1 Corinthians 1:2) They are the ones who accept salvation and were given new identities and an inheritance in Christ. They pledge their allegiance, loyalty, and faithfulness to Him, and He in return takes pride in them, protects them, and makes them heirs. In addition to this another, Trinitarian Images of the church is, it is the Body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:27), this means that believers are now connected to Christ, “For He is the head of the body.” (Colossians 1:18) Christ as the head serves the body as a source of strength, truth, and life. The local and global church function as an extension of Christ’s ministry, it is His representative on earth. The third Trinitarian Image of the church is, it is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16), this means that the presence of God is evident in the church both on a local and global level. The Holy Spirit gives gifts, He equips, and He gives power to the …show more content…

He sees His beloved bride, whom He sacrificed everything for. But He also sees her faults and blemishes, this does not deter Him from loving her and for supporting her through her trails. The love that Christ has for His church, He sets it as an example for the husband and his wife to pattern after (Ephesians 5:25). This means that believers need to view the church through the filters of Christ and realize that the church is under Divine ownership. As believers, this means greater effort and more commitment to the things of God. It is pressing forward even when there is failure, disappointments, and

The black churches are active in both roles, the priestly and prophetic. The priestly roles deals with worship and maintaining a spiritual lively hood in the ministry, while the prophetic focuses upon articulating an essential word of God’s judgment. The Dialectical Model indicates that the black church functions more as an institution with the attitudes of survival, instead of the prophetic churches of liberation. The other-worldly versus this-worldly is a continual dialog on how the black churches feel and act as believers toward the world. The other-worldly aspect is the mindset of heaven views, with concerns on eternal life or the world beyond, but it abandons the thoughts toward political and social concerns, which is this-worldly aspect.

Chapter One: My Story In the very beginning of this book, the author, Josh Dowel, relates a story from his childhood in which he couldn’t find satisfaction from his church, and thereby abandoned attending church. He quotes a country saying “when something doesn’t work, get rid of it” as a way of explaining his attitude toward church, and consequently, religion. Later in this chapter, Dowel explains a revelation which led him to once again explore Christianity. He realized a valuable truth: Jesus Christ and religion are two separate entities.

Are they in harmony with the sympathies of Christ? or are they swayed and perverted by the sophistries of worldly policy?” Putting morality over the system. Religion preaches mercy and equality under one God and by asking questions like “Shall the church of Christ hear in silence the taunt that is thrown at them, and shrink away from the helpless hand that they stretch out;...” she is reminding them that they can create a change too, and showing that they forging their principles if they support

When talking about the church, a person must keep in mind the rituals that are performed usually by said churches. Sometimes these rituals are traditional, but you must not forget that the church does attempt to avoid such practices unless they were to adapt to such a stale lifestyle. To do this churches use genres to help impact the action going on in-/outside of the church—by that, of course, churches also vary in actions. Johnathan Swales tells us that, “a discourse community utilizes and hence possesses one or more genres in the communicative furtherance of its aims” (221). The church most dearest to me is none other than Titus Harvest Dome.

Christianity, it’s beginning, practices, beliefs, or definition, though interesting remain challenging for any one individual to comprehend. Some of the methods individuals utilize to foster Christianity include its creation, intervention, and development. Moreover, the development of Christianity by individuals which has continued for centuries further complicate matters. John Fea’s book, “Was America founded as a Christian Nation?: A Historical Introduction” introduces the complexities surrounding Christianity as it relates to the History of America.

The main point of this article, in my opinion, is summed up on page ninety four. “A foundation and critical challenge for the Emerging church will be teaching people that they are the church and that they do not simply attend or go to one.” When the focus is brought to the Church as a building there seems to be a bigger issue. WE become more worried about the structure of the church and the materialistic things that come with the make-up of a church instead of what is truly important. To help further understand this Kimball provides the reader with valuable information, “However, the word Church was used (in scriptures) primarily to describe the followers of Jesus.”

In the image, his ethos is depicted in multiple ways. One of these is thought the flood and fire. As mentioned above, the flooding and fire rest at the feet of everyone in the church—except the preacher. He instead stands slightly above the congregation, and appears to be standing on the hand of God. Additionally, he is made larger than everyone else in the room.

You close a door to open a new door. It’s the spark of the beginning of something better. You re-evaluate what you did and come back stronger. Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and redefine our ways and strategies in achieving our goal. You are pushed to get out of your comfort zone and fight the problems in a way that you wouldn’t normally fight them.

This brings us to the third aspect of Paul’s pnuematology. Paul is truly Trinitarian in that he understands that God is truly one and personal, that the Spirit is the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ and that they are both personal and divine. In spite of this, the Spirit is distinct from the Father and from the Son. Fee also observes that Paul’s interest in Christ and the Spirit is “not with the nature of their being God, but with their role in salvation and Christian experience” (Fee, 33). Christ and his work help define the Spirit and his work in the Christian life (Fee, 32).

To a degree it reflects this mystery in its performance, and in the manner that it models many being together as one. At the heart of worship is a joyous celebration of the experience of communion.
