WORK OF THE CHURCH 1 Timothy 3:14,15

Distinguish Between Church and Individual Matthew 18:15-17 Acts 5:3,4 1 Timothy 5:16 Individual Christian Can: Run Profit Making Business Provide Recreation & Entertainment Provide social gatherings These Things Are Not Work of the church!

Issue Is Not: If needy should be cared for Can Christians have social gatherings What other activities may take place in same building in which the church meets May meet in someone's house May meet in a school building or other rented facility. Question is, "What can church scripturally support and provide?"

Divinely Authorized Work of the Church Evangelism Edification Benevolence

Evangelism 1 Timothy 3:15 Philippians 4:15,16 2 Corinthians 11:8 Accomplished By: Preaching & Teaching in assembly and classes Support of those who preach the gospel

Edification Ephesians 4:11-16 Hebrews 10:23-25 1 Peter 2:2; 2 Peter 3:18 Accomplished By: Teaching, worship and assembling Acts 20:32; Hebrews 10:24,25 Not done by providing social & recreational events or support of schools and colleges.

Benevolence To Needy Saints Acts 4:34, 35 Romans 15:25-26 2 Corinthians 8 & 9 Church Not Charged With: Relieving any other than needy saints Support of benevolent societies

What Must I Do To Be Saved? Hear the gospel (Romans 10:17) Believe Jesus is Christ (Acts 8:37) Repent of your sins (Acts 13:3) Confess your faith (Matthew 10:32) Baptized for remission of sins (Acts 2:38) Faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10)
