We can find the one, true church today by examining the New Testament pattern.
We can restore the one, true church by following the New Testament pattern in all essential details.
The New Testament tells of:
The relationship of Christ and His church.
The descriptions of the church.
The beginning of the church.
The worship of the church.
The work of the church.
Another mark of identification of the one, true church - its organization.
Let’s begin our understanding of the organization of the Church by starting with what doesn’t change...
what
Jesus is the Head of the Church.
Jesus rules over the Church
Jesus gave/gives what needed for the Church
He gave the new Testament as our constitution...
He gave gifts for equipping it...
Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church.
;
Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church.
The New Testament is the constitution of the Church.
; ;
God’s word is complete ().
1.
It “thoroughly equips us for every good work” (,).
-64-
Eph 4:11-16
2. It contains “all things that pertain to life and godliness” ().
3. It is the “faith once for all delivered to the saints” ().
4. We must accept no other gospel ()!
5. We dare not go beyond what is written ()!
6.
We must not add to, nor take from, the word (,)!
The Head (Jesus) has given the Church gifts with purpose.
Eph 4:11
So if the Church is out of order; if it is lost; if it is maturing/growing up; this is who the Church turns to .
The Government has no authority over the Church.
The Government does not equip the Church with what it needs to be sustained or to mature.
The Government does not dictate to the Church how it is supposed to be structured or how it is to operate.
A CHURCH EXIST IN ONE OF FOUR POSSIBLE STATES.
A CHURCH MUST EXIST IN ONE OF FOUR POSSIBLE STATES.
1.
A church may be Scripturally unorganized.
For a period after the establishment of a congregation, it may not be possible to appoint elders and deacons because no one is yet qualified.
The churches established by Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey existed for up to three years before elders and deacons were appointed ( and 14).
2. A church may be Scripturally organized.
This is the case when a church is able to appoint men who meet the God-given qualifications to serve as elders and deacons.
the God-given qualifications to serve as elders and deacons.
The goal of every congregation should be to have fully qualified elders ruling them and deacons serving them.
3. A church may be unscripturally unorganized.
If a church has men who are qualified to serve as elders and deacons, but refuses to appoint them, it is unscripturally unorganized!
Sometimes men who run the church by business meetings of the male members are reluctant to give up their power to elders.
We must not rebel against God’s plan for the organization of His church!
4. A church may be unscripturally organized.
This is the case when a church has unqualified men serving as elders or deacons.
This is the case when a church has unqualified men serving as elders or deacons.
It would also be the case if a church had only one elder or one deacon, or deacons without elders.
How should the Church operate in the absence of Elders?
Set a course to Biblical Leadership.
Your road map can only be the Bible.
The Evangelist, Elders/Pastors/Shepherds and Teachers need to continually equip the congregation toward Maturity.
