The Elders: Emmanuel, the Shepherd.mp3 WARNING: Each of the lessons in this series are longer than normal due to the depth and accuracy needed to cover this subject. Average duration is 1.5 hours per recording. Our church went through an amazing transformation at the end of 2010.

Sunday’s main service is NOT held on Sunday due to rigorously held dogma so much, but it IS in respect to the holiness of the Sabbath day as declared by God BEFORE mankind fell. Quite literally the Sabboth was declared holy FROM THE BEGINNING. We know that Sabboth was most likely our modern day “Saturday”, but our Lord was risen on what we call Sunday, so it seems appropriate.
In addition to this, we worship on “Sunday” out of convenience because we believe Jesus’ words which teach us, “Man was not made for the Sabbath but the Sabbath for man.” As such, Sunday is the day MOST OFTEN recognized as the day to worship within Christian circles so that is when we have our main service of the week.
We use this day as the day we press forward as a community of believers into Biblical teachings which our leaders believe God is immediately guiding us into for our maturity and Spiritual growth. We do not have Sunday night services in part due to the fact that we do not want time constraints to dictate our worship.
As a community of grace we are interested in ministering to others, outside our immediate assembly and encourage others to participate in our lessons and grow with us.

Let me begin by saying that I appreciate the input thus far and I have only read those who have posted, I have not taken the time yet to read the articles, but I intend to do so. Also let me say that I believe the entirety of this letter is to believers, not unbelievers or a mixed group of both unbelievers and believers – I believe this to be the obvious truth of all the letters from all the apostles. That is NOT to say that they were unaware of unbelievers being among them for we know they […]
