Reno Church of Christ

In a door-to-door survey conducted by Willow Creek Community Church the question was asked: if you don't go to church, why? The five biggest reasons: 1) Boring, 2) Irrelevant, 3) Asking for money all the time, 4) I'm too busy already, 5) I feel awkward at church.

What about you? When you think of the church what do you think? Why does it exist?

The word church ‘ekklesia’ means those who have been called out

1 Peter 2:9

The church doesn’t mean primarily to worship

Romans 12:1

The churches main purpose isn’t to evangelize

The main purpose of the church isn’t to listen to a sermon

The church is to edify or teach

1 Corinthians 14:26
Romans 14:19
Romans 15:2
1 Corinthians 10:23-24
Ephesians 4:11-12
Ephesians 4:16
1 Thessalonians 5:11

God wants us to be part of the church

Acts 2:46-47
Ephesians 5:25

Fundamentals of the Church

Many people say they love God and hate religion. According to God’s word, that is not possible. If we love God we will also love the church that His son died for. Please listen below as we seek to understand this misunderstood subject.

A classic example of intuitive knowledge of God is the amazing story of Helen Keller. From the age of two. Keller was blind, deaf and without the sense of smell. After months of agonizing and fruitless attempts on the part of her teacher to communicate

with this young girl, something happened.

One day Helen suddenly understood the concept and meaning of running water! From

this tiny foundation Keller built a lofty tower of thought, including the ability to use her

voice in speaking. She became an educated and articulate human being.

Sometime after she had progressed to the point that she could engage in conversation,

she was told of God and His love in sending Christ to die on the cross. She is said to

have responded joyfully, “I always knew He was there, but I didn’t know His name.”

Keller became a believer in Jesus Christ and a wonderful testimony of the grace of God.

But she instinctively PERCEIVED that there was a God, even though she could not

understand Him fully without revelation of Scripture
