REVEALING THE CHURCH

THE CHURCH IS NOT A BUILDING

To the church in thy house (th kat oikon sou ekklhsiai).

The church that met in the house of Philemon.

 In large cities there would be several meeting-places. Before the third century there is no certain evidence of special church buildings for worship (White, Exp. Grk. T.). See Acts 12:12 for Mary's house in Jerusalem, 1 Corinthians 16:19 for the house of Aquila and Prisca in Ephesus, Romans 16:5 for the house of Prisca and Aquila in Rome, Colossians 4:15 for the house of Nympha in Laodicea.

WHEN I SAW HIM I FELL AT HIS FEET


ISAIAH 6:

1

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple.... 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for my eyes have seen the King, Yahweh of Hosts.

JESUS CHRIST CAME BECAUSE GOD LOVES MAN

JOHN 3:

15	... whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16	For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
17	For God didn`t send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him.
18	He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn`t believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only born Son of God.
19	This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil.
