We Go to Church, But, What is Church?
Definition of "Church" = The assembly of those who are called (by God)
Jesus is the Architect and Builder of The Church
Jesus is the Head of the Body of Christ – The Church
The Church is “the household of God” and “the support of the Truth”
The Church is the Body through whom God reveals Himself
[Analogies of the church include The Body, The Household of God, The Flock of God , The Temple of God and the Bride]
The Church was established to obey the Great Commandment and accomplish the Great Commission
Jesus Christ Ministers to the Church through ministries that He Gives / Appoints
God Leads the Church through the ministry of Elders that we are called to appoint
As Shepherds, their ministry to the Body of Christ is to Watch, Lead, Feed, and Protect the flock of God
Some Elders are Called Into a Special Place of Leadership
Some Elders serve the body without the responsibility of governing the church
There are some elders who rule or govern the affairs of the church as overseers
Those who will serve as overseers are described this way:
There is dignity in every calling and work – These are set apart to oversee and lead us.
