Message #96 - ECCLESIOLOGY - The Doctrine of the New Testament Church (Part 2)
Our message today continues our Systematic Theology Series with a study of Ecclesiology ~ the study of the Doctrine of the New Testament Church.
Pastor Mark Geer first introduced the topic last week and today deepens our exploration of the foundation and historical development of the Church. Jesus said, “I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it” (Matthew 16:18). And the Apostle Paul wrote that, “no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11).
In this message we examine carefully what the substance of that foundation is and also look at the historical development of the Church that was built upon that solid foundation.
Our desire for this broader study of Systematic Theology for Daily Living is to take a practical look at the study of God and various elements of biblical and spiritual truth which are designed to help us all understand God and draw us nearer to Him as our Creator and to Jesus Christ as our Savior.
