Why I need a church... because it's a classroom!

As we continue our commentary on the church, and why it’s important in our lives, today’s post is “Why do I need a church? Because it’s a classroom!

For the rest of my life I will be enrolled in a course entitled:  “Growing strong in Jesus Christ,” and each weeks lesson builds upon the one before.  Indeed, our personal time of Bible reading and study is important, but along with that God has placed some within the church who are gifted teachers to help equip us.  In Ephesians 4:11-13, the apostle Paul tells us that: “He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastor-teachers, for the equipping of the saints (that’s us!)…”

Whether it is a small group bible study, a men’s study, women’s study, an Equipping the Saints class, or the Sunday morning message, let us make full use of the many opportunities that we are given through the local church to grow in our faith.

…till the whole world hears,

Pastor Clay
