Fifth Street East Church of Christ Spring 2017 Gospel Meeting “I Am A Member Of The Church Of Christ Because …” The Church Belongs To Jesus, Not Me 5/7/2017 class Spring 2017 Gospel Meeting Fifth Street East Church of Christ 1 Joe R. Price

Shopping for the “Church of Me”

The Christian and Christ Lose self in Christ Deny self, take up cross and follow, Luke 9:23 Count the cost, pay the price, Luke 14:25-27 Christ lives in me by faith, Galatians 2:20 Some appear to ask, “Why should I?” Matthew 19:23-30

Shopping for the “Church of Me” Satisfy self, 2 Timothy 4:3-4 Pick and choose beliefs and practices This always leads to spiritual death, Galatians 1:6-10 Have you been shopping for the Church of Me? Are you already a member?

The “Church of Me” Shopper is not Satisfied with Sound Doctrine Grows tired of gospel preaching, 2 Timothy 4:2-4 Exposes, reproves, and rebukes sin, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 Sign of rebellion against God, cf. Isaiah 30:8-11 1 Timothy 6:3

The “Church of Me” Shopper is not Satisfied with Sound Doctrine Respect for Bible authority is foreign, Colossians 3:17 (Luke 6:46) Form of godliness, 2 Timothy 3:1-5 Have denied its power It has a name, but no spiritual life, Revelation 3:1-2 1 Timothy 6:3 6

Shopping for Doctrines? Social gospel, 1 Corinthians 11:22, 34 Plan of salvation, Ephesians 4:4-6 Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage, Galatians 1:8-9 Unity in diversity, 2 John 9-11 Are you already a member of the Church of Me? 1 Timothy 6:3

2 Timothy 2:22; Titus 2:11-12; 1 John 2:15-17 The “Church of Me” Shopper is not Satisfied with Gospel Morals Deceives people into thinking the stain of the world won’t rub off, 1 Corinthians 15:33; Ephesians 5:5-7 No separation, 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 Daily life, Romans 12:1-2 Rebellion against God, 1 Thessalonians 4:7-8 2 Timothy 2:22; Titus 2:11-12; 1 John 2:15-17

2 Timothy 2:22; Titus 2:11-12; 1 John 2:15-17 Shopping for Morality? Profanity and angry exchanges, Ephesians 4:29-32 Immodest clothing, 1 Timothy 2:9-10 Dancing and drinking, 1 Peter 4:3 Sinful entertainment, Ephesians 5:3-4 Are you already a member of the Church of Me? 2 Timothy 2:22; Titus 2:11-12; 1 John 2:15-17

The “Church of Me” Shopper wants Comfort and Convenience Attendance is optional and occasional, Hebrews 10:24-25 Little personal responsibility toward others, 1 Corinthians 12:25-27; Galatians 6:2; 1 Thessalonians 5:14 “I have my own troubles – don’t bother me” Self-centered living, Matthew 7:12 Luke 9:57-62 10

The “Church of Me” Shopper wants Comfort and Convenience Personal accountability is not expected, Galatians 6:5; 2 Thessalonians 3:10 (6, 14- 15) “It’s my business–leave me alone!” Romans 14:7 All will give account, Romans 14:12 Are you shopping for a convenient form of Christianity? Acts 24:25 Are you already a member of the Church of Me? Luke 9:57-62

The Church of Christ Christ is the only foundation that will endure, 1 Corinthians 3:11 (Matthew 7:24) Jesus already built His church It is not the “Church of Me” Submit to God, not to self, James 4:7-10
