OBJECTIVE: To encourage the brethren toward regular, faithful attendance.

INTRODUCTION:

1. Read Hebrews 10:19-28.

Introduction:

1. The religious world around us has arranged itself into denominations (distinct parts of the whole).

2. Originally there were a few (Lutheran, Church of England, Presbyterian, Catholic, etc.). Now there are more than a thousand.

3. We must comment on this situation because this idea is nowhere found in the doctrine of Christ. Denominations have no right to exist because they are not found in scripture.

4. The will of Christ is ONE CHURCH, BODY, KINGDOM. (Matthew 16:18; Ephesians 4:4; John 3:5)

5. The denominations argue that the totality of the denominations is the one church.

1) The New Testament, however, fails to use the word “church” in that sense.

2) There is the “church universal” (Matthew 16:18) and “church local” (Romans 16:16).
