Here is what you need to do if you
want to establish (start) a congregation of the church of God in your area, later
on we will have a lesson on establishing a congregation of the church of God, we
discussed this earlier, briefly in our Bible Study Lesson. To establish (start)
a congregation you need to have two or more brethren (baptized by submersion
believers) together:
Matt 18:19-20
19 "Again I say to you
that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be
done for them by My Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there
in the midst of them."
NKJV
To hold a church service follow
"Worship Service" in the Church Booklet at the bottom of the page Are
You Saved on www.bentleypublications.com. There you have all the required
elements of a worship service. Meet in your home, in a park, in a building, in
a tent, or anywhere that is convenient for you. My youngest daughter and I have
worshiped along the road when we were traveling and could not find a church. When
we traveled on Sundays, and it became clear that we were not going to find a
church, we simply stopped at a good place to get off the road and worshipped
right there. We always took unleavened bread and fruit of the vine with us so
we would have those in our worship.
Think. If the kingdom of God is the
church; naturally it is the church of God!
It is our intent to teach the Word, the truth, as it is
written in the Bible and to teach about the true church described in the New
Testament, the church of God. If you find that we are not doing this we will
appreciate it if you call it to our attention. Thank you.
