Bible Lesson: Titles Of The Church:
Church Title: God's Building
Bible Texts:
I Corinthians 3:5-11,16 NLT
5 After all,
who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through
whom you believed the Good News. Each of us did the work The Lord
gave us.
6 I planted the
seed in your hearts, and Apollos watered it, but it was God who made
it grow.
7 It’s not
important who does the planting, or who does the watering. What’s
important is that God makes the seed grow.
8 The one who
plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose.
And both will be rewarded for their own hard work.
9 For we are
both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s
building.
10 Because of
God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert
builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on
this foundation must be very careful.
11 For no one
can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus
Christ.
16 Don’t you
realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that
The Spirit Of
God lives in you
God's
Building:
Psalm 18:46 KJV
The Lord
liveth; and blessed be my Rock; and let the God of my
Salvation be exalted.
Psalm 62:2 KJV
He only
is my Rock and my Salvation; He is my Defense; I shall not be
greatly moved.
Matthew 16:16-18
KJV
16 And Simon
Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, The Son Of The Living
God.
17 And Jesus
answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for
flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father which
is in heaven.
18 And I say
also unto thee,...upon this Rock I will build My
church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(Peter's confession of faith in Jesus Christ.)
I Corinthians
3:16 KJV
Know ye not
that ye are the temple of God, and that The Spirit Of God
dwelleth in you?
1 Corinthians
6:19 KJV
What? know ye
not that your body is the temple of The Holy Ghost which is in
you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
II Corinthians 6:16 KJV
And what
agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple
of
The Living
God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them;
and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Ephesians
2:19-22 KJV
19 Now
therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow
citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20 And are
built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ
Himself being The Chief Corner Stone;
21 In whom all
the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in
The Lord:
22 In whom ye
also are built together for an habitation of God through The Spirit.
I Peter 2:3-9
KJV
3 If so be ye
have tasted that The Lord is gracious.
4 To whom
coming, as unto A Living Stone, disallowed indeed of men, but
Chosen Of God,
and Precious,
5 Ye also, as
lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy
priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by
Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore
also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion
A Chief Corner
Stone, Elect, Precious: and he that believeth on Him shall not be
confounded.
7 Unto you
therefore which believe He Is Precious: but unto them which be
disobedient,
The Stone which
the builders disallowed, the same is made The Head Of The Corner,
8 And A Stone
of stumbling, and A Rock of offense, even to them which stumble at
The Word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.
9 But ye are a
chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar
people; that ye should shew forth the praises of Him who hath
called you out of darkness into His marvelous Light;
God's building,
is His people, His temple.
So now thee all
important question, are we
I Peter 2:9 KJV
“...A royal
priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew
forth the praises of Him who hath called (us)
out of darkness into His marvelous Light?
