The Church of Christ Comunicación y Gerencia “I will build my church” (Matthew 16:18)

Matthew 16:13-19 Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? 16:13-14 But who do you say that I am? 16:16-17 I also say to you…on this rock I will build my church… 16:18 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven… 16:19 2

The Church of Christ was Built On the day of Pentecost, Acts 2 About 3,000 souls added together, Acts 2:41 They continued together, Acts 2:42 The Lord added to the church those being saved, Acts 2:47 The church of Christ is not a denomination! 3

The Church of Christ is NOT… A denomination of believers (Jno. 17: 20-21; 1 Cor. 1:10) Eph. 4:4 Ecclesiastical hierarchy An afterthought of God, Eph. 3:10-11 The building in which the church meets to worship 4

The Church of Christ IS… The assembly of the saved Called out ones (ekklesia: ek, out of + kaleo, to call) Congregation of Israel (Acts 7:38) Riotous assembly (Acts 19:32, 41) Governing body in Ephesus (Acts 19:39) 5

Whose Church is it, Anyway? “Church of Christ” denotes possession, Matt. 16:18 (Rom. 16:16; 1 Cor. 1:2; Heb. 12:23) Denominations belong to men Founded, structured & perpetuated by the will and wisdom of men (Col. 2:8, 20-23) Church of Christ belongs to Christ 7

The Church Belongs to Christ Because… He built his church, Matt. 16:18 Christ loved his church and died for her, Eph. 5:25-27 Christ purchased his church with his blood, Acts 20:28 The church is the body of Christ & he is its head, Col. 1:18 8

The Church Belongs to Christ Because… There is one body, Eph. 4:4 Christ is the Savior of the body, Eph. 5:23 The church of Christ is the fullness of Christ, Eph. 1:23 9

Christ Built His Church on the “Rock” He is the Christ, the Son of God, Matt. 16:18 (1 Cor. 3:11) He is the Savior of the church, Eph. 5:23, He is the chief cornerstone, Eph. 2:20-21 (Acts 4:11-12) 10

Christ Built His Church on Pentecost (Acts 2) His authority opened the kingdom to the lost, Matt. 16:18-19 (Acts 1:8; 2:21, 36-41, 47) The church remains whenever the gospel is preached & souls obey, 1 Pet. 1:22-25 Men fall away from the faith, 1 Tim. 4:1 Called to return to God (Jas. 4:7-10) 11

The Church of Christ in the New Testament Composed of Christians, not Churches, Acts 2:47; 1 Cor. 12:13, 14, 18, “Church” used two ways: Universally, Matt. 16:18; Heb. 12:23 Locally, 1 Cor. 1:2; Gal. 1:2; Rom. 16:16 Never denominationally! 13
