12. First Principles 2013 Session 10: The Church

13. The Church Introduction To teach about the church in the scriptures is a sacred honor. If we present anything about God's church in a boring way, it is sin. This is the final study in our first principles series. By this time you should see a tremendous change in our friend "Ralph" who the young fired-up disciple "Bob" met taking the "three-a-day" challenge. – Prayerfully, you'll be just like our fired-up disciple "Bob" and meet a friend named "Ralph" because you to are obedient to the Holy Spirit Indwelling in you and Jesus’ call to “make disciples of all nations!” 2 Tim 3:12-13 – Very early on in the studies, as a church, we need to cover this critical truth - if you want to live a Godly life in Christ Jesus, if you want to be a true disciple, you are going to get persecuted.

16. The Church Introduction – (NIV84)

17. The Church Introduction – Persecution, study it out! Very early on, study it out. – Right after seeking God. – The persecution study teaches about how Jesus was persecuted by his family, by religious authorities, and by the public at large. And now we are going to study out "The Church." – This study should take about an hour. I like to plan two, so we can talk before and after.
