First Baptist Church Bible Study-9/22/20

What are the roots, the history, of the Church? What
sets apart people whom God calls His own? How does
God use the Church to achieve His purposes? What does
the Church do for us, and what should its members do
for the Church? How can we be part of what God is
doing through His Church?
When Jesus said, “. . . I will build My church, and
the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it” (Matthew
16:18), He was saying the Church—His chosen people
—would not die out. It would be alive—a warm and
caring body of believers striving to serve God, , do His
work and support each other. 

I suppose those reading this page are believers. As believers we know that God
has a purpose in our lives. We know that God gives us things to do that we can't
do by ourselves. These things are like walking on water to us. We can only walk
on water as long as we keep our eyes fixed on Jesus. So, the enemy, who doesn't
want us to have victory distracts us from our focus. Yet, we will have victory if we can focus on the Lord.
