How Do You View The Church?

How Do You See Or View The State Of The Church?

Shared by Apostle James R Winfree Sr, Making The Truth Of Jesus Christ Known!

Question To All its Ministers & Members: The Church is the body of Christ a group of people unified (Ephesians 4:1-3) under Christ, who represent and reflect Him to the World which leads to building up the body of Christ.and Not just in the business to make money, built personal kingdoms or religious buildings.

The purpose of the church is also to provide a place to "break bread." Often, this means just eating together and living life together (Acts 2:42). Formally, we break bread at the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). The practice of the Lord's Supper unifies us as it reminds us that we are all saved by Christ's sacrifice. Practically, it also provides an opportunity to reconcile differences and right wrongs as we examine our interactions with fellow Believers from all Nations and back grounds (1 Corinthians 11:27-28). Not all black or white or rich or poor, but one in Christ. Period.

The natural result of sound teaching and a unified body is that the members of the church will take care of each other. The most powerful way to care for others is to pray for them (Acts 2:42). Just as the early church prayed for each other (Acts 12:5; Philippians 1:3-4), so we should bring each others' needs before GOD and put our love into actions and not just empty words only (Philippians 4:6-7). Within the church we are also called to show honor (Romans 12:10), compassion (Ephesians 4:32), encouragement (1 Thessalonians 5:11), and love (1 John 3:11). And we are to meet each others' practical needs with more than just preaching on Sundays Mornings. James 1:27 says, "Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." One of the primary purposes of the church is to provide for the needs of its members (Acts 20:34-35; Romans 15:26). Not like the Rich preachers of our day. only in it for Self-gain.

Externally, the purpose of the church is to fulfill the Great Commission as Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:18-20. There is no nobler purpose for the church than to introduce others to Christ. We do this in part by making sure we faithfully represent Him and become who He has called us to be. Philippians 2:15 exhorts us to be "blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation." Whether we witness to people in our neighborhoods or send others to foreign lands, the church is called to manifest the Holy Spirit in us by embodying Jesus' character and telling others about Him and leading All souls to Christ alone.

The purpose of the church is to be the Believer's Spiritual family. It is through the church that God takes people with different personalities and gifts, unifies them as a single body, and equips them to care for each other and reach the world. We were not meant to live the Christian life alone; surrounded by the Biblical teaching and loving community of the church, together we find our own purpose in life. We are to build up His Church, Not our own. Let His Church Say, Amen

We Are Leading All Believers And Souls To GOD Our Blessed Savior JESUS CHRIST.

TO THE MEMBERS OF CHRIST BODY!!! His Kingdom confirmation Word for His called out Ones: By Apostle James R Winfree Sr, For the Lord says to His ministering saints members, surely these are the days in which He's gathering His called out ones together. GOD is saying again, have He not chosen this the time of the Kingdom season of biblical unity and oneness when the wind blows to form a group of Christ Believers, those that the Holy Ghost have been stirring up for the past  months, those that the Lord has been moving, those that He has been desiring to reveal Himself to I say unto you as His servant Apostle, it is time for the body  to spread your wings, for you all are heavenly bound. But, as you spread you wings, The Holy Spirit shall be the wind beneath your wings, and He shall lift them toward heaven. He will bring them up to live in the glory of the kingdom that they ought to be living in, even in this hour and even in this day. For, once He begin to move, by H...

Jesus Christ Is Not Welcomed Into Your Houses!

Most So-Called Christians & Ministers Are Just Religous, And Will Not Obey The Lord God Jesus Christ:  And Part Two The Lord Jesus Christ Is Not Welcome Into Your Houses, Because He Didn't Look The Way You Expected Him To Look:  ( He Came As Your Spiritual Family In Need And You Turned Them Away, By Doing This, You Turned Jesus Christ Away) Apostle James R Winfree Sr, Revealing The Truth Of God's Holy Word In His Love: 28  “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go, work today in my vineyard.’   29  He answered and said, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he regretted it and went.   30  Then he came to the second and said likewise.
