THE CHURCH
Posted here is the sermon delivered by Br. Thomson B Thomas at Assembly Bible Classes between 23rd April to 29th April.
Passage of Reference: Mathew 16:18
‘The Lord Jesus loved the church and gave Himself for it. Anybody who loves the Lord can only love it and labour for its progress. They shall have delight in its principles and practice. Now the doctrines related to church are corrupted or neglected. It is high time to get to the Bible and see the will of God concerning it. In the eight Bible studies uploaded here by brother Thomson B Thomas, Mumbai, gives the elementary and essential teachings of the church. The name the Lord gave to it, it’s various metaphors and the two aspects of it are presented in simple terms. The ordinances, offices and its autonomy are taught clearly. The series takes the student till the blessed hope of the church. Anyone, beginner or scholar, may find help in listening to these.’
