Welcome...  to the only church that Jesus built!

Matthew 16:18-19

Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. 2 And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. 3 And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. 5 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. 6 He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. 7 Go quickly and tell His disciples that He has risen from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you into Galilee, there you will see Him; behold, I have told you."

8 And they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy and ran to report it to His disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."

11 Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened. 12 And when they had assembled with the elders and consulted together, they gave a large sum of money to the soldiers, 13 and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.' 14 And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble." 15 And they took the money and did as they had been instructed; and this story was widely spread among the Jews, and is to this day. 

16 But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. ​

​The Great Commission

18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you;

and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

​Matthew 28

WE ARE

AN OPEN BOOK!

Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying: 

"These people draw near to Me with their mouth, 

And honor Me with their lips, 

But their heart is far from Me. 

And in vain they worship Me, 

Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.'" ... 

Matthew 15:7-9

12 Then His disciples came and said to Him,

"Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this saying?" 

13 But He answered and said, "Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. 

14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch." 

Matthew 15:12-14 

"Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?  

Luke 6:46

But the high priest rose up, along with all his associates (that is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy. 18 They laid hands on the apostles and put them in a public jail. 19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said, 20 "Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life." 21 Upon hearing this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Acts 5:17-21

When they had brought them, they stood them before the Council. The high priest questioned them,

28 saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

29 But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men. 

Acts 5:27-30

But when they heard this, they were cut to the quick and intended to kill them.

34 But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time. 35 And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men. 36 For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered. 38 So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown;

39 " but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God." 

 

40 They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them. 41 So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name. 42 And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they kept right on teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ. Acts 5:34-42

YOUR PLACE

TOO!

​ For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own order:

Christ the first fruits, after that, those who are Christ's at His coming, 

 Then comes the end,

when He delivers the kingdom

(kingdom/body/church - Matt 16:18-19; Eph 4:4-6; Col 1:18; Rom 16:16)

to

God the Father

when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power. 
For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet.

The last enemy  that will be abolished  is death.

Hebrews 11:35-38

Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented —  of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. 
NKJV

Of course, we would and do obey the laws of the land to the best of our ability, so long as they do not conflict with God's.
