What is a Church?

Acts 8:1-8, 12:1-5 and Romans 14:10-23

Something changed when it came to finding a place to worship during the centuries following the death of Christ. The so-called “early church” begins with the testimony of what it calls the church.

But prior to the early church there were several places of worship throughout the Israelite history, whether it was the tent where the Ark of the Covenant was placed or the temple built by Solomon. These places became called House of the Lord where the Holy of Holies was.

Contentment and a Thankful Heart

What do you think of this statement: “The truth is that if we are not satisfied with what we have, we will never be satisfies with what we want” (Boa, K. p. 285).

Romans 8:28-39

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.
