The Miracle of the Local Church

The local church is miraculous. When the Lord Jesus established the church, in its foundation He gave us all we need for its function. As we speak for God, we must speak not just to be heard, but to be repeated.

THE MIRACLE OF THE ORIGIN OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

The Lord Jesus said, “I will build my church.” The local church is established as the pillar and ground of the truth. We are to speak the truth in love.

THE MIRACLE OF THE MEASURE OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

Every local church is precious to the Lord Jesus Christ. Its greatness lies in its likeness to Christ. The church is measured, not by its size, but by its “sort.” Remember, it is His body on earth.

THE MIRACLE OF THE MESSAGE OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

Pastors are always working on their message. The Lord Jesus is always building His messenger. God uses the message of His Word to change lives. The message must be spoken with urgency, clarity, and certainty.

THE MIRACLE OF THE MINISTRY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH

We meet together to worship the Lord. Out of our worship grows the ministry. It must be local and global. Christ has commanded us to reach our Jerusalem and extend His message to the uttermost part of the earth.

    Praise the Lord! It is still God’s Word at work in us and through us. I’m thankful to be a pastor of a local New Testament, KJB, Jesus Saves, Baptist Church in rural Arkansas. Thank you Brother Sexton for your stand and for your faithfulness!
