Arnie and Fred begin this last episode about New Testament worship by discussing the reading of scripture that we find was done during that time. Paul wrote to Timothy about this practice. Luke records in Acts about scripture that was written to the church at Antioch which they read during their worship. In looking at these six elements of New Testament worship, we have noted that if there are items added to them or if any of these items are excluded, the worship engaged in would not be "in spirit and in truth as Jesus requires. We move on to discuss the church as the New Testament body of Christians. We look at the word "church" noting is meaning from the original Koine Greek word. We look at a number of passages that this word is used in and point out what each passage is saying. We look at passages that teach us that the Lord's church is called a "spiritual house". We take some time to talk about the difference between this spiritual house and the local churches the various letters in the New Testament were addressed to. We close out this episode by noting that all of Christ's local churches believed and taught the same things and worked and worshipped in the same way. Since the New Testament specifies the kind of worship God requires, we pose the question, "Is it the kind of worship that you offer?" Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. For your convenience, there is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided.
