His Church

Pastor Bob Ezatoff Season 1 Episode 30

Unlock the profound secrets of spiritual community and growth as we explore the true purpose of church gatherings. Have you ever wondered how being part of a church community can transform your spiritual journey? In this episode, Daniel Johnson unravels the mystery of why communal worship is not just a Sunday ritual but a vital part of your faith journey. Discover how Jesus, as the head of the church, intended for it to be a nurturing space where believers can mature in their faith, embracing their unique gifts to foster unity and collective growth.

Journey with us into the heart of the early church, where the apostles laid down a foundation of teachings that define the true essence of a church community. Through the lens of scriptures like Ephesians and Corinthians, we illustrate the church as a living body with each member playing a crucial role. This episode shines a light on the common misconception that church is merely a physical building, emphasizing instead the spiritual bond and shared purpose that unite believers. Learn how the early church serves as a model for authentic worship, highlighting the importance of gathering for mutual edification and the sharing of truth in love.

We also tackle the challenges believers face in seeking acceptance and truth in the wrong places, such as gangs, and how the church offers a genuine sense of family. Reflect on the importance of adhering to apostolic doctrine and the strength found in communal prayer and fellowship. With references to the book of Acts and the teachings of Jesus, we reveal how church gatherings are meant to break barriers, drawing individuals closer to God and each other. Embrace the calling to build each other up in faith, as we emphasize that the church is a sanctuary for imperfect individuals striving to grow in their spiritual walk.

Speaker 1:

Thank you, jesus. God will open, he'll open up the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing. My God will open. He'll open up the windows of heaven and He'll pour you out a blessing. My God will open. He'll open up the windows of heaven, he'll pour you out a blessing, and you will not have the room, not because of you, but because he's good, and you will not have the room to receive him.

Speaker 2:

Hello, welcome to Valley Gospel Church. We are a non-denominational Pentecostal church located in Springdale, pennsylvania. Our sole mission is to present the living truth of a risen Lord Jesus Christ to a remnant church and a lost world. Let's get into the service recorded live at Valley Gospel Church.

Speaker 3:

So we're going to dive into the Word and get rolling and see what the good Lord and the Holy Ghost got for us today. I'll pray and then we'll get started. Father, thank you so much for your word. Thank you for everything that you do for us. You're amazing and awesome, father. Thank you for the goodness and the grace you pour out on us that we don't deserve. Thank you that we were all once lost, walking in in the wilderness, and you led us out, father, and we just come together, father, to get closer to you, to learn more about you and your word, that you may show us and equip us, that we can go out and lead others out of the wilderness closer to you. Father, we thank you for this assembly, the body of Christ and all of us together. We thank you for the church. We thank you for setting up all this perfectly to follow your ways, because you know what you're doing and it all works, because your hands on it and you've said it this way, father we love you. Father, I love you and I thank you for giving me your word. I pray and ask you to speak and work in and through me, father, that I surrender everything to you, that you would use me, mighty Father, for your glory and honor, to lift up the name of Jesus, and I just pray, holy Spirit, that you have your way, that everything spoken would be led and filled by you. I pray that you open the ears of all those here that they may hear your word, father, and let it lodge in their hearts, father, so that we could take that and go out into the world and do what you've called us to do, because we each have a calling, we each have a gift, father, and we thank you for all that, and we just thank you for teaching us how to use it, when to use it, and for leading and guiding us. Thank you for being all in all, father. Glory be to you. In Jesus' name, we pray, amen, amen.

Speaker 3:

And today our yunza mentioned all about the assembly and everyone getting together and everything Preach said in one of his messages a little bit ago about the church. He touched on the church and the importance of people coming together, right. So today I wanted to dive in and we're going to be talking about his church, so the title for today is his church. And just like this morning when I started hanging out with the Lord and diving in through the word of what he says about his church and assembling together all of us, for all the different reasons why he said that and what he does when we all get together just overwhelmed. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3:

I definitely can't talk about it all today and I couldn't write it all down. And, just like this morning, when we get together and we worship and praise and you feel his presence and his spirit here, how can you write that on paper? How can I tell that to somebody who doesn't know that never went to church? You know what I mean. There's certain things that you just can't articulate with words. You know what I mean. You just have to come and see. You've got to find out. Right, I can't write it down and I can't show you.

Speaker 3:

And, just like we said, salvation was just the beginning, right, it's just the beginning of our journey with the Lord. And we all move on from there and going out in the world and talking to people everywhere. Most of the time, everyone tells me when I'm going out that I believe in Jesus. You know what I mean. And I say, oh, you know. And we're talking. I said, well, where do you go to church? Oh, I don't go to church. You know what I mean. I love Jesus, I don't go to church, right? You don't have to go to church to be saved and to love Jesus. And I'm like, okay, you know what I mean. That's good, which is a true statement from the perspective of the thief on the cross, right? Because that's the picture that comes to my mind when people say that. But we know from scripture that that's not God's will, that's not his plan for his children. He wants us to assemble together. So if you believe in Jesus and have been saved, born again, and you're not dead yet, right, then church is where you're supposed to be, according to Jesus, the head of the church, not something a denomination made up, but Jesus, the one who created and established the church, the one who died for the church and the one who's coming back for his church. So we're going to dive in and look at this church that Jesus set up and we're going to start the opening scriptures in Ephesians 4, 11 to 16. And when you all get there, I'll ask you to stand for the reading of God's word and we'll dive in and see what the Holy Ghost got for today, see where he leads and guide us and where we go.

Speaker 3:

And this Ephesians 4, 11 to 16, is talking about Jesus. After he ascended into heaven as a victorious king, he gave gifts to men, amen, amen, alright, ephesians 4, 11-16. And it says and he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists and some pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. Till we all come to the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, that we should no longer be children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but speaking the truth in love may grow up in all things into him who is the head, christ, from whom the whole body joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. Amen. You can be seated, you can be seated, you can be seated, amen. It says that Jesus gave gifts to the church, his church. Why? For the equipping of the saints. For what? For the work of the ministry, which is so that we all may come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the ministry, which is so that we all may come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, which is to say so that we all may come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. And for what? For the edifying or the promoting of spiritual growth to the body of Christ. Right when you grow, we grow. We're supposed to be together and share in that right and we all have something to offer.

Speaker 3:

Verse 13 says that till we all come in one accord to the faith and knowledge of the son of God, jesus, to a perfect man, or becoming a perfect man, meaning not sinless, but in our maturity, in the knowledge and faith, to the level of, or the measure of our completeness or wholeness that's found only in the fullness of Christ. It's in his sufficiency, not ours. Why? Why is this important? Why did Jesus set it up this way? So that we can learn together and not be like little children, it says in our doctrine anymore Faith like a child. The Bible says yes, but not doctrine. The Bible says that as little children are tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men and the cunning, craftiness and deceitful plotting. But what it says? But that we shouldn't be tricked and we should speak the truth in love and grow in all things into him.

Speaker 3:

Who is the head, jesus, from whom the whole body, the church, is joined and knit together or connected by every different person in the church participating according to the grace given to them by God, working together, every member or person doing their share, then it will cause the church, the knowledge of Jesus, to grow, and that builds the body up. And it's all done in love. We are all individually different, members of one body working together, and 1 Corinthians 12, 12 to 20 and 27 puts it like this. And 1 Corinthians, just a couple pages back, 1 Corinthians 12, 12 to 20 and 27 says that. For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ, for by one spirit we are all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we have all been made to drink into one spirit, for, in fact, the body is not one member, but it's many. 1 Peter, chapter 1, verse 1. Is it therefore not of the body? No, right. And if the ear should say because I am not an eye, am I not of the body? Is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? And if the whole body were hearing, where would be the smelling? But now God has set up the members, each one of them, just as he pleased. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now, indeed, there are many members, yet one body, and now you are the body of Christ and members individually.

Speaker 3:

Church is not a building. Although we, we the church, meet in a building, god dwells in us, and wherever we meet together is the church having church. Think of a block building. Look at the block building that we're in now. You can't really see the blocks in here, but from the outside you just know what a block building looks like. The building is made up of a whole bunch of small blocks, right, and all of us are the small blocks. We come together, the Bible says, and we build a spiritual house to the Lord. Right there. We, as the blocks, go anywhere and meet not just this physical building here. The blocks go anywhere and meet not just this physical building here, and when we all come together, all these small blocks come together, we build a spiritual house in that place. It doesn't matter where it's at physically, and assembling ourselves together is important. There's a lot of podcasts, tv, radio, preachings and teachings, which are awesome and the right ones can help us grow in our knowledge and faith in the Lord, and they're good for those who physically can't get out to an assembly. But that wasn't meant to replace the church or us physically meeting together.

Speaker 3:

It's not an excuse to not go to church and church isn't supposed to be, on the other hand, something that's forced on us. Either it's not a law that tells you, it says that you got to go to church, or else, right, it's all out of love. It's a love for him, a love for one another, love for those who are lost and don't know, and time to just shut everything else off and just be in his presence for a while and spend time with him. I love what George always says when he comes in, he just feels the peace of the Lord and everything else kind of melts away. You know what I mean. You can't describe that to somebody until they experience. There's a lot of stuff that the Lord does and he moves, mighty and does so many things that you can't just say it and somebody get it. You know, and we all join in this time together with him, because we love him and he loves us.

Speaker 3:

It's not a one-sided love. The Bible says we love him because why he first loved us? Right? God loves his church and he likens it to a marriage between a husband and a wife, and the church is known as the bride of Christ. And look what Ephesians 5, 25 to 27 says. Ephesians 5 25 to 27 says husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her that he might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water, by the word, that he might present her to himself a glorious church not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. God loves the church because God loves us and we make up the church.

Speaker 3:

It's from a position of love on both sides, just like a husband and a wife are supposed to be and just like a wife wants her husband to help with the dishes, out of love, not because she has to ask or make him. She wants you to want to out of love, not because she has to ask or make him. She wants you to want to out of love for her. And, as the bride of Christ, god wants us to be involved out of love. As a Christian, we have a responsibility. We have a responsibility in our walk with God. We have a responsibility in our walk with our families and we have a responsibility in our church, the body of Christ. When we love God, we want to be near him, and anywhere he is is where we want to be.

Speaker 3:

You want to help this God who showed up and saved your life, this God who you just might have met or found out. They hung him on a cross for you, but he's not dead. I mean for real, not dead because you just met him. And if you've not known him for a long, and if you've known him for a long time, I'll ask you to go back in your mind to when you met him for the first time in your life, not heard about him, but met him. This Bible has to be true. How could they crucify someone over 2,000 years ago and I just met him. Then you read, or someone tells you that the Bible says he was the son of the living God and he died in your place as a sacrifice for you and your sin. And then, when it was finished, god rose him from the dead, defeating death too, and he is alive and well seated at the right hand of the Father, still changing hearts and changing lives, saving lives 2000 years later, just like he did when he walked the earth, hallelujah. You can't wait to come together, to be with him, to know more about him. And his name is Jesus, the risen king of glory. And church is where you do that. Jesus, when he walked this earth, started setting up his church and laying the groundwork before it was ever born.

Speaker 3:

In the book of Acts, jesus tells Peter in Matthew 16, 16 to 18, the foundation for the church. Jesus is asking the disciples here who everybody says that he is, and they answer with all kinds of different answers. Responses like some say that you're Elijah, some say that you're John the Baptist, jeremiah or one of the other prophets. But Peter steps up and this is what he says, and it's Matthew 16, 16 to 8, matthew 16, 16 to 8, and it says said Simon. Peter answered and said you are the Christ, the son of the living God. Jesus answered and said to him blessed are you, simon, barjona, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my father, who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Jesus says to them that, on this revelation that Simon got from the Father, that Jesus was the Christ, the anointed one, the Messiah, the one they've read about, learned about since they were little, the one they've been waiting for, the son of the living God. Peter says that's who Jesus is. And Jesus said blessed are you, simon. And on that foundation you have just spoken, I will build my church. And the job of the church is to spread the message of Jesus, to be witnesses of him and to go into the world and make disciples so that all may believe and be saved, to show and to lead people in the right way, to teach people about him and what he has done and what he can and will do.

Speaker 3:

Today we act like the Bible doesn't say how to live out or walk out our faith. We act like we're the one dying beside Jesus Only, day after day, we keep getting up Guess what. We aren't dead. So now what? The Bible tells us what we're supposed to do as disciples. As what Disciples? I know that's rough. That's rough as disciples.

Speaker 3:

A disciple, that means something when you say that, and that's where the church comes in as an assembly. There's something in us that longs to be accepted and part of something with others. So we're not alone. It's why people join gangs to feel that sense of belonging in that family and not knowing it's the church they're supposed to belong to, not a gang. It's for safety. There's safety in numbers. That's why Satan tries to get you alone so he can mess with you and tell you all kinds of lies. It's easier for him when you're alone. But if you're part of the church, the body of Christ, if you're being fed the truth, the word of God, with family, with brothers and sisters, you won't believe the lies because you'll know the truth. And when we come together it builds us up individually and as a body.

Speaker 3:

And John, you and Barry on Wednesday spoke this perfectly with Colette's message and everything that was going on Wednesday at Bible study, how it doesn't matter who you are, but it goes through different stuff. We're all in the world, nobody's exempt. It doesn't matter if you come up here, if you're sitting down there, what you do. But it goes through different stuff. We're all in the world, nobody's exempt. It doesn't matter if you come up here, if you're sitting down there, what you do. We're all in the same boat and we're all supposed to join together. And we get beaten down sometimes. And when we come together like that and I love the truth of our family, that it's open to come out and say you know what I mean? Hey, I'm getting attacked, it's not, we don't hide nothing. You know what I mean.

Speaker 3:

And everybody does, as a body of Christ, come together, lift you up, pray for you and it there's something about knowing that you ain't alone. You know what I mean. He was attacking me last week. He's attacking you last week. I see that we're family. That brings us. There's a connection there between us because we're all in the body of Christ being persecuted. We all suffer in some area.

Speaker 3:

When we come together and join together, it lifts us up individually and as a whole. That's what this is. That's what he set this all up for right Right, hearing the truth that was delivered through God's word, and knowing you're not alone in any of it, that we all get attacked and suffer. Sometimes it does something on the inside you it renews, it restores and it lifts you up. It edifies us individually and then that edifies all of us together. That's the way it's supposed to be. That's why God set it all up this way. It works.

Speaker 3:

But the church has to preach the truth To be a true church and for everything to work as God intended it, we have to be like the first church, the one that God set up. So we're going to take a look and dive into the first church, the true church, the church from the word of God. And the church was birthed in the book of Acts. So we're going to go to the book of Acts. But we know that back then, just like now, that there was false teachers, there was different doctrines and even the mixing of doctrines from people. But the test for a true church is always what is being preached and taught. Whether a church is the true church or not is based on comparing what they are teaching to what the apostles in the new testament taught.

Speaker 3:

There is only one gospel, and galatians 1, 8 and 9 says that. But even if we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you, that what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. And as we have said before, so now I. So what is this gospel? We have to go to the book of Acts, where the church was birthed. The church is to spread the message of Jesus and his death and resurrection. This is where it started. So, jesus, after he rose from the grave, he met with his disciples and many people saw him. But he met with his disciples and told them to go to Jerusalem and to wait for the promise from the Father, the Holy Spirit. Don't do nothing till he comes, jesus said. Then Jesus says when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you shall receive power and then you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, judea, samaria and to the ends of the earth. So we, so we see the birth of the church taking the message out.

Speaker 3:

And now, what did they preach and teach when they went out? Well, acts 2 and 42 says this. Let me get there and I'll tell you what it says. Huh, I lost my bookmarks. I don't know where they went. They fell out. I found one of them, but that was it All right.

Speaker 3:

So Acts 2 and 42 says this and they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship in the breaking of bread and in prayers. So it says that they continued in the apostles' doctrine. And what was the apostles' doctrine? Peter lays it out for us in Acts 2, 22 to 36, I'll read but in all of this, knowing that we don't lift up the apostles as anyone different than us, flawed people who God used mighty right, we follow their teaching, but they're the same as us, just like everyone God used in the Bible. Every single one of them had flaws and mistakes and said and did things they shouldn't have, and they were all trying, just like us.

Speaker 3:

That's why, when people say about the little offenses when they come to church and stuff like that, what do you expect? You know what I mean. If you're looking for an offense, you'll find it, because when we all come together, we all me included all the time say something dumb or do something dumb. You know what I mean. Like we need help. We're all trying to figure this out, get closer to God and walk with him and we want to show others because we know how awesome and amazing he is. We don't know the fullness of Christ yet, but we know how great he is and what he's done for us and we want others to know. But that doesn't mean we know everything. None of us know everything. We're learning as we go right.

Speaker 3:

So we say something dumb or make a mistake here and there, and it can be offensive, and I think that's why the Bible says we shouldn't be easily offended. Right, because the offense is if you're looking for one, you'll find it, and if we're supposed to be a hospital with a bunch of broken people trying to get fixed, there ain't no perfect people here. So I don't know what you're in the wrong spot if you're looking for that. You know what I mean. But just thankful that the good Lord set it up this way, that he works in and through flawed people like us all for his glory and honor, so we can show the world who he is, because the only thing that separates us from them is his love and his grace. That set us free and showed us the way. So that's all we want to present to somebody else. You know what I mean him, because that's what he does in acts 2, 22 to 36 is what peter says.

Speaker 3:

This is the apostles doctrine and should be our doctrine. It says Peter says, men of Israel, hear these words Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you, by miracles, wonders and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves also know, him being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands and have crucified and put to death, whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it. For David said, concerning him, for I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken, verse 2. Allow your Holy One to see corruption. You have made known to me the ways of life and you will make me full of joy in your presence. Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried and his tomb is with us to this day. Therefore, being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his body according to the flesh, he would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne. He, foreseeing this spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left in Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption. This Jesus God has raised up, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured out this which you now see and hear, for David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself the Lord said to my Lord, sit at my right hand till I make your enemies your footstool. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ. Amen, amen. Peter says Jesus, who you crucified, is alive and well and he's both Lord and Christ, and that is the doctrine of the apostles, the first church, the true church, and that's our doctrine, the first church, the true church, and that's our doctrine. Peter goes on to say that Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

Speaker 3:

When Jesus walked this earth, he went into all those areas that the Jews never went, but avoided or walked around. Why? Why was he doing that? He was knocking down walls, walls that separated his children and people, culture and now denominations. He was bringing the kingdom to all Nowhere and no one was off limits. He was starting to fulfill what he said to the woman at the well, and that's John 4, 21 to 24. You just remember Jesus' woman at the well and this is what he said. Jesus said to her Woman believe me, the hour is coming when you will, neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father. You worship what you do not know. We know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews, but the hour is coming, and now is when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is spirit and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. Jesus was removing roadblocks for his church. He was starting to make the way.

Speaker 3:

Wherever we, as the church, assemble together in spirit and in truth, is the church. It's not a specific building or a certain place, but it is an assembly of believers getting together in fellowship and breaking bread, listening to God's word, praying and worshiping and giving thanks to our Lord. And they call it church. And something amazing happens when the church starts to have church. The early church devoted themselves to fellowship and to prayer together, and they didn't always have a designated church or a building, but they met together daily, actually in their houses, the temple courts. It didn't matter where and wherever the meetings take place.

Speaker 3:

We believers are to be in fellowship with one another, hearing and teaching God's word, amen. It's to build up our faith, and faith comes by hearing the word of God, and God wants us to come together and we need to come together Because we need each other. God doesn't give one person everything we couldn't handle it. So God gives each one of us something and we need something someone else has and they need something that we have. And if I'm an eye in the body of Christ, I can't do what the hand can do, or the ear or the nose. We need each other, we need church to help us, to encourage us, and the Bible says that as these things go in the world, we will need this even more, not less, as we get closer to that day.

Speaker 3:

Right Hebrews 10 and 25 says Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the day approaching. So many things come from the church and meeting together. You can't write them all down. People are not understanding the fullness of the church and what it was for. It's to equip us to build up the church and the body of Christ, not just physically but spiritually. It's to teach us how to use the weapons of warfare that we've been given, to teach the next generation to battle and to save souls, to lead them to the one who changes lives, to preach the gospel, to preserve the word, not pervert it, to rip down strongholds from the enemy and to set people free. And we as individuals need the Holy Spirit, the power that Jesus told his disciples to wait for. We need him Just like they did, so do we. We need him and his church, and I'll leave you with this for today. We, as disciples, get equipped at church so that we can go out. Amen.

Speaker 3:

And people are looking for a voice crying out in the wilderness, those that are lost and blind, wandering around where there is no path.

Speaker 3:

People are seeking, looking for somebody to be crying out the truth, to be telling the truth, to show them the path out of the wilderness in the midst of the dark. Will you be a voice crying out for the truth that Jesus Christ is the light, he is the savior, he is the redeemer, he is the only one that can lead you out of the wilderness. And since we've been talking about Peter, we'll stick with him. Peter, who was a fisherman from Galilee, who doubted, he denied and he spoke without understanding, became a blessing for all believers as God used him to become a leader in this new church and who went out, like the others, to spread the hope of Jesus Christ, the gospel of Jesus, and it shows that Jesus can and does use anyone, whoever you may be, whatever you may have done or failed to do. He's just asking one question, one question Do you love me? Do you love me? And if you answered yes to that question, then I'll encourage you to be part of his church and to get equipped. Amen.

Speaker 1:

Let us give him all the praise.

Speaker 6:
