Worshiping in Spirit and Truth, Following the New Testament Church
The Beginning
What it Teaches
What it Avoids
The church of Christ avoids teachings and practices not found in the New Testament. The church of Christ strives to worship God by following the teachings and examples set forth in the New Testament: Theology, tradition, and interpretations all must conform to the context of the Bible. Galatians 1:8 says, “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.”
Rooted in Christ’s Teachings
The first-century church predates Catholicism and exists as pre-denominational, representing the original and pure form of worship and living as taught by Jesus Christ. This church embodies the simplicity and sincerity of the faith that Christ established and for which He sacrificed His life. John 4:24 emphasizes this principle: “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” This verse underscores the importance of heartfelt, genuine worship that aligns with God’s will, reflecting the core values of the first-century church and practiced by the Lord’s church in the first century.
Singing as the Early Church Did
A Weekly Communion in Worship
The Lord’s supper is always observed every first day of the week. In the New Testament, there are directions and examples of Christians meeting together on the first day of the week for communal worshipping of God, singing, praying, and the breaking of bread, the Lord’s Supper. Acts 2:42: “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.”
Worshiping God and Honoring Christ Through Sincere Worship and Fellowship
These verses emphasize the church's unwavering dedication to worshiping God with sincerity, devotion, and obedience. Through heartfelt singing, adherence to the apostles' teaching, prayer, and fellowship, the church seeks to honor Christ's sacrifice. The act of partaking in the Lord’s Supper serves as a profound reminder of Jesus giving His body to suffer and His blood, His very life, for the forgiveness of our sins. This commitment reflects the church’s focus on worship that is both heartfelt and grounded in biblical truth.
