CCS SysTheo Ecclesiology: The Doctrine of the Church

THE NATURE OF THE CHURCH – WHAT IS IT?

The Words Defined From the Greek ekklesia Means: The Assembly – Not to be confused with “called out ones” – Think Butter-fly Appearances: – Matthew 16:18, 18:17 – Acts 8:3, 9:31, 13:1, 14:23 – Romans 16: 1-5, 16, 23

Two levels of the Assembly The Universal Church Acts 8:3 Acts 9:31 Hebrews 12:22-24 The Local Church Acts 13:1 Acts 14:23 Each of the Epistles and Revelation 2-3 (22:16)

So, What IS the Church? What attributes stay constant in these texts? What attributes change? What is the focus on?

The Household of God 14I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long; 15but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. – 1 Timothy 3:14-15

The Body of Christ Emphasizes the Connection of the Church as a group of believers, with Christ. Some aspects of the Body of Christ – Christ is the Head (Col. 1:18) – The Body is parts, put together (1 Cor. 12:12) – The Body parts depend on one another (1 Cor. 12:26) – The Body must be unified (Eph. 4:4-6) – The Body of Christ, the Church, is Local and Universal – “a microcosm... a small-scale example” (Acts 8, 13) – The Body of Christ is an extension of His ministry (1 Cor. 3:9)

The Temple of the Holy Spirit The Doctrine: John 14:12 & 16:7 The Individual – 1 Cor. 6:19 The Assembly – 1 Cor. 3:16-17 – Eph. 2:21-22
