Let’s begin with part 1….

A. What is The Holy Christian Church? B. What is The Christian Congregation? C. With which congregation or organization should I join in fellowship?

We use the word “church” in at least 4 different ways: “It’s raining, run into the church!” “Hurry, church starts soon!” “I’m joining the church.” The Bible’s definition of church? building believers group worship

We use the Bible’s definition of church. And since faith is God’s gift, we also note that… …the church comes to people!

1 Peter 1:22 - 2:10 1.The word “church” means “called out.” God calls the unbeliever out of the darkness of unbelief and into the light of faith.

Once lost in sin, God interfered in our life!

2. The Holy Christian Church is all believers in the world. All believers; communion of saints

3. We become a part of the H.C.C. when the Holy Spirit gives us new birth through God’s Word and Sacraments. 4. The cornerstone of the church is Jesus.

The Invisible church = All who believe in Jesus

What can be seen about Faith? “Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart” (1 Sam 16:7).

What humans see. “Man looks at the outward appearance.” Humans can’t see what spirit is in the heart.

What God Sees “The Lord looks at the heart” God knows the spirit of the heart: if there’s faith in Jesus or not.

What God Sees …the Lord looks at the heart (1 Sam 16:7). The Invisible church = All who believe in Jesus.
