Peter Lawther continues our series in ‘Foundations’, preaching this morning on The Church from Acts 2:37-47.
“The local church as a company of baptised believers gathered under the headship of Christ for worship, fellowship, instruction and evangelism; the ordinances of baptism and the Lord’s Supper; baptism being the immersion of believers on profession of their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and a symbol of their identification with Him in His death, burial and resurrection.; The Lord’s Supper being a remembrance of Christ until He comes and a renewal of commitment to Him; the offices of elder and deacon; the gift of evangelist and pastor-teacher; the priesthood of all believers and their unity in the Body of Christ; the separation of church and state.”
