Is One Church as Good as Another? Leroy Brownlow

October 28, 2021

There’s no shortage of churches today, and many wonder what’s different about them. Do the differences even matter? Is one church as good as another? Let’s study together today and think on this important question. We’ll consider more than a dozen key factors to weigh if we want to find the real answer. Why belief in Christ is necessary. Why it’s important to look for the founder of a church. The significance of worship and doctrine in knowing whether a church belongs to Christ. Can we learn anything about a church from its name? Why a church’s belief about baptism can help you know if it is the church you read about in the Bible.

It is hard to imagine anybody willfully depriving themselves of food or water. Yet, there’s a different kind of hunger and thirst so many people needlessly inflict on themselves. Let’s think about this as we study together from God’s word on today’s topic “A Famine in the Land.” Why neglecting God’s word today is especially harmful for young people. The importance of teaching every generation “from the womb to the tomb.” Culture has been attacking God’s design for home and family for years. Why Christians must know and defend Jesus’ teaching about marriage, divorce, and remarriage. The danger of false teachers. Why preaching on fundamentals or “fundamental preaching” isn’t radical or negative. What effective preaching needs to say about the church. How to claim your free Bible study “Victory in Christ.”

We can read about the one church Jesus built, and yet look at the religious world and see a multitude of churches. Is it possible to be part of the Lord’s Church without getting entangled in a web of denominations? Let’s study together today as we think more about this topic. We’ll have a better view of what the church is by appreciating some things it is NOT. Where the word “denomination” comes from, what it means, and why you don’t see denominations in the Bible. What Jesus prayed for in John 17 that modern religion actively works against. (They might not mean to be fighting against Jesus, but they are!) Where our doctrine must come from in order to please God. Why the question “What denomination are you?” Would have baffled the earliest Christians. Three groups of people who ignore the church we read about in the New Testament.

It is good to examine our beliefs and practices in light of scripture. Did they originate from God or were they invented by man? In other words: “By what authority are we doing these things?” Let’s talk about authority today as we study God’s word together. We’ll see how Jesus skillfully answered a question with a question, and what we can learn about Christ and authority. Jesus’ skillful reply to a sneaky question. What God said during Jesus’ transfiguration that validates Christ’s authority. Jesus’s authority in the church. Why the words Jesus spoke on earth were automatically authoritative. Do you know what will judge you? The Bible tells us plainly! What Jesus did with the words our Heavenly Father gave him. Where the apostles got their doctrine, and why it’s still authoritative today. Why it’s wrong to add to or subtract from scripture.

What happens at home impacts the neighborhood, workplace, school, and church. It matters! So let’s talk about the home, and how our homes can be an influence for good. What it means to have influence. Do you have influence? You might think you don’t, but listen to this! What salt and leaven have to do with your influence. The life-changing influence of God’s word. The influence of a husband and father. What it means to teach children diligently. What a Philippian jailer can teach you about family influence. Why an often-overlooked Christian meant so much to the apostle Paul and the church at Corinth. The influence of a wife and mother. Why Solomon’s wives and Jezebel prove not all powerful influence is good. The timeless influence of the virtuous woman. Why a “price far above rubies” is a rich, remarkable compliment. The influence a Christian wife can have on the home, even if her husband isn’t a believer. The influence of a child.
