Scripture Reading 1 Corinthians 1:10-17

Introduction I would like for us to consider some things needed in the church today in the 21 st century. While a lot of things have changed, there are things needed in the church today that was needed in the 1 st century. Let us consider.

Unity From my observation the church has become fractured and splintered. 1 Corinthians 1:10. John 17. God has given us liberty in matters of opinion (Rom. 14). But even in matters of opinion we are not to split & splinter the church (14:21).

Sound Teaching & Preaching Titus 2:1, 7-8. In one bulletin that I receive, the sermon topics are listed. Two recently caught my attention. One sermon entitled “Bang” and another entitled “Only Children Play with Rocks”. 2 Timothy 4:1-2.

Personal Evangelism All evangelism could be considered personal. In many places evangelism is viewed as the preacher’s job. He does have a responsibility, but so does every Christian ( Mt. 28:18-20). We all must do our part inasmuch as our abilities will let us.

Christians living like Christians In too many churches, there people who claim to be a child of God that want to live like the world. Mt. 5:13-16; 1 John 2: Christianity is not a coat that we put on Sunday morning and don’t put back on until the next Sunday. 1 Peter 1:16.

Faithfulness Related to our last point. Hebrews 10: Faithfulness is not just attending the services of the church, but is a part of it. When a person willfully forsakes the assemblies, what else are they not doing?

Study Brethren at one time had a reputation for their knowledge of the scriptures. I’m afraid that isn’t the case anymore. Some can name players, stats, standings, but can’t name the 12 apostles or give the plan of Salvation. 2 Timothy 2:15. Nothing can take the place of study.

Conclusion We must be diligent in our efforts to maintain our faith and to keep the church in the right way. It is easy to let things slip away. Duet. 6:4-12. Let us be aware of these things and make every conscience effort to do them.
