The Church
Welcome to Jackson St. church of Christ! If you are a visitor
or have been gone for a week or two, then you have missed
the first couple of lessons in our series on the church.
We began by looking at images in the Bible used to describe the church.
First, Paul likened the church to a building (temple) built to house the Spirit
of God. (1 Cor. 3; Eph. 2) Secondly, the church is shown to be a plant or
field that needs watering and tending. Lastly, we saw the church as the bride
of Christ. In Ephesians 5:22-32 Paul connected instructions for husbands
and wives to Christ and the church. There is a great purpose in the
institution of the marriage relationship. God ordained that relationship as a
kind of preview to what will one day be when the church is presented to
Christ.
Last week, the importance of the church to God was discussed, and we
discovered some of the reasons in the Bible supporting the claim that the
church is important to God. We found that God had a plan for the church and
His people even before creation. (Eph. 1:3-4) We also learned that He
values the church so highly that He gave His Son as the ultimate sacrifice for
our sins. (John 3:16) Finally, we saw that the church is important to God
because we represent Him here on earth and are to imitate Him and reflect
His honor in all that we do. (Eph. 5:1-2)
This morning, we will talk about the importance of the church to Christians.
The church is of vital importance to Christians, and we each must make
every effort to be an integral part of it. The daily support and love that can be
found within it is so necessary as we try to withstand the attacks of Satan in
our lives. The Bible is also very clear about the fact that we each have a
responsibility to other Christians and accepting that responsibility is a part of
being Christ-like here on earth. It is with great humility and love for God’s
people that I present this series of lessons. May each one serve to help in
our walk with God.

The family of Delena Duke wishes to express
their deep thanks and appreciation for all you
have done in the recent months and days of
Delena’s illness and passing. Earlier this year,
before her hospitalization, many of you were
coming to her aid as her health was regressing.
During her recent four months in Wentworth your
prayers, expressions of concern, cards, and
visits were a comfort to us. Then in these past
few days you were a tremendous support to get
us through this difficult time. Thanks so much to
so many who brought food to the door or
contributed to it, for the kind words of tribute, to
those who handled all the aspects of the service,
and to the ones who provided the great lunch
afterward. You have shown the love of Christ
and displayed what the family of God is all
about. We “thank God for you” (1 Cor. 1:4).
The Delena Duke Family
FORREST SMITH and FRANK McILROY of Serenity
Ridge Recovery will speak to all youth and adult
classes during the Bible class period next Sunday
morning, October 19, then again during the worship
period.
Our family cannot tell you how much your
kindness and loving support has meant to us in
the loss of our mother. We cannot thank you
enough for allowing us to use the church for the
service. And to all the wonderful ladies of the
church, the food was so good. Please keep us
in your prayers—our family really needs them.
Love you all,
Keith & Aleena Gairich
