Assembly Oneness (2004 Sermon)

Apostasy begins when we ignore the body of Christ and not to assemble. Have you separated yourself from the assembly to which you've been called?

Scriptures Used During Today’s Message: Acts 1, Ephesians 2:1-10, Ephesians 1:22, Ephesians 3:10, Colossians 1, Hebrews 1, Joshua 24:15, Hebrews 10:22, Galatians 5

What is the focus of the church? Listen as Pastor Ray explains through several scriptures what the church is and how it functions. Jesus calls for assembly oneness, where we leave all of our idols behind and give everything to Jesus. The focus is on serving Jesus and each other.

(t)he church was not something on the corner. The church was a body of people. They were the assembled ones. They were the called out of sin ones.
Pastor Ray during today’s message

I’ve included this to remind us that we’re part of the body of Christ. Are you willing to join yourself to Christ?

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. And you can’t take your body out and join it together with sin. Because if you do, you are joining Christ to sin. You can’t do that. If you do, you separate yourself from Jesus. And you cease being a part of His body.
Pastor Ray during today’s message

The notion that we can be “independent” Christians must be utterly broken.
