WHY CHURCH?
Message by Craig Minke
June 12, 2022
ABOUT 6000 YEARS AGO
* The earth was in chaos, mankind as we know it did not exist.
* Jesus (God) created the world.
* Man was created and the creation was good, It got even better when God created WOMAN.
(from Adam's rib)
* Soon after he was created mankind made some very poor choices and sin entered the world.
* Even way back in Gen 3:15.
We have our first prophecy of Jesus who would crush the heal of Satan.
* Then after about 4000 years Jesus came to earth, he came as a PHYSICAL HUMAN BABY.
- YET HE WAS ALSO THE LONG AWAITED MESSIAH
* For over 4000 years people PROPHESIED, prophets, kings, men talked about this event.
ABOUT 2000 YEARS AGO
* FINALLY about 2000 years ago JESUS CAME TO EARTH WHERE HE WAS FULLY HUMAN AND YET FULLY GOD.
* He spent more than30 years on PLANET EARTH
o Jesus experienced PAIN, SUFFERING, REJECTION
o The world saw Him as a illegitimate child born out of wedlock
o He experienced life as you and I have experienced it, YET HE WAS WITHOUT SIN.
* Then in the last 3 YEARS he called 12 men to be his DISCIPLES and he mentored them.
* Hours, Days, Months, Nights he worked with these individuals.
* At about age 33 he was arrested and condemned to death by a illegal court
* His death fit God's master plan from the beginning from Genesis.
* In laying down his life JESUS DIED ON THE CROSS FOR ALL MANKIND AND PAID THE PENALTY FOR SIN
* His shedding of BLOOD ON THE CROSS PAID THE PENALTY FOR OUR SIN
* FINALLY THE BARRIER BETWEEN GOD AND MAN WAS NO MORE.
AFTER 3 DAYS
* Jesus rose from the grave, the grave could not hold him.
* He appeared to many after his resurrection
* The disciples soon realized they needed help that only God could give.
* He instructed his followers to wait in Jerusalem until they received power from on high.
* We celebrated that event last Sunday in PENTECOST.
* The Bible seems to indicate that at that time there were about 120 followers of Christ.
PENTECOST CAME
* Pentecost finally arrived
* God's Holy Spirit was poured out upon his followers.
* The world would NEVER BE THE SAME.
* Now men who cowered in fear stood up to bolding proclaim the GOSPEL EVEN IF IT MEANT DYING
ACTS 2:41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
* It is like everything culmunated to that time
* Jesus' 30 plus years on earth
* His mentoring 12 disciples who were as human as you and me
* His dying on the cross
* His resurrection
* His commissioning of the 12 disciples and the sending of them into the world
PENTECOST
* Then on Pentecost the church began
* Now 3000 people were added to the body in one day.
God's HOLY SPIRIT WAS AT WORK.
* The church begins in around 33 AD.
* Although "church" has come to mean a building or organization, the original Greek word for church was EKKLESIA and it meant
o A gathering,
o An assembly
o It was the basis for our word "CONGREGATION"
* That is what God designed the church to be - A GROUP OF PEOPLE.
* The idea of church as a building would have been foreign to them since they met in homes.
QUESTION: "WHY DID GOD CREATE THE CHURCH"
* Why Church?
* What is the purpose of the church?
* That is the title of my message today
* I want to open this up to all of you.
* We've briefly reviewed the events leading up to the birth of the church
* SO WHY CHURCH??
* I will have Job come up here to translate this question for our Swahili members.

THERE ARE A FEW THINGS BEING A PART OF CHURCH ALLOWS US TO DO WHICH WE CAN'T DO ON OUR OWN IN THE SAME WAY
1. CHURCH PROVIDES US
WITH OPPORTUNITIES TO CONNECT WITH GOD.
IN OUR MISSION
THIS IS OUR LOVE TO GOD
OR OUR HOPE AVENUE
