Membership
To better understand why it is important to join a local church which is faithful to the truth, feel free to listen this sermon preached by our paster, "Personal Commitment to the Church Part 1". Below is an excerpt from this encouraging sermon.
From his message "Personal Commitment to the Church Part 1" our pastor said:
Not becoming a member makes no sense. You need to be a church member, if not here, somewhere that is faithful to the truth. It's a matter of obedience to the scriptural command. It's a matter of fellowship. It's a matter of regularly, permanently submitting to the authority of the Word of God taught systematically and sympathetically by pastors and teachers. It's a matter of becoming strong in doctrine, being willing to identify publicly with the people of Jesus Christ. It's a matter of accepting the rich responsibilities and privileges of family. It's a matter of loving loyalty. And not joining the church is saying, "I don't care about that." Why join this church? Well, you judge if we're faithful to these things. You judge. You need to belong. I'm grateful for my forty plus years here. I love this church more now than I ever have, it's filled with loving, supportive, faithful, prayerful, kind, generous, dedicated eager people with vision, faith, trust and grace. We've never had a revival here, you know that? Because we've never been dead. We've never been dead. All over the world there are people who would love to experience what we experience here. That's no tribute to us, that's a tribute to God. Millions of people would trade places with you, they languish in dead places praying for revival that never seems to come. They have small glimpses of what we see all the time. God has done it all. The shepherds and pastors of this flock are faithful, careful, wise and godly men but at the end of the day they're human, they're weak...we're all that way...we have no spiritual power on our own so everything that happens is the work of God to which we give Him all the glory. So, it comes down to you. What's your commitment to the church because you are the church? I'm not the church. The building's not the church. You're the church. What's your commitment? Come on, join us and be strengthened.
