Children mimic what they see. If a parent brings up their child in Christ, that child shall follow Christ wherever He goes.
Ephesians 6:4 states "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
The Ten Commandments also says to "honor thy father and thy mother". A child will honor the teachings of those who taught them.
The Church of God is a family-oriented, spirit-led, bible-believing church with congregations worldwide. Our focus is restoration...the restoration of God's kingdom and restoration of His system of praise and worship in preparation for Jesus' return.
We welcome you to join us for a service or even one of our famous roast beef dinners. It's a fun and wholesome experience for the entire family. Get connected.
As it was in the First Century, the world today abounds with every imaginable wind of doctrine, seeking to push the believer into some strange and bizarre cult. This condition underscores to us the great importance that sound doctrine has to us. We should seek diligently to be established in doctrine that is scripturally accurate and sound.
KEY TEXT: “Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and be established in the present truth” (II Peter 1:12).
In a discourse to Timothy, Paul predicted the coming confusion of teaching in the church that remains in Christianity to this day. He declared that the time would come when men would not endure sound doctrine (teaching). Study II Timothy 4:2-4 and see the result.
In the Early Church the people continued steadfastly in the apostle’s doctrine and fellowship (Acts 2:41-43). Discuss the importance of remaining in fellowship with divinely appointed leadership in maintaining sound doctrine.
There are many types of doctrine that we should avoid. Ephesians 4:14 and II Corinthians 11:2-4 talk about cunning and deceitful doctrines. Any doctrine that detracts from the central theology of God, the deity of Christ, and the spiritual experience of rebirth through faith alone should be avoided.
Jesus talked about the substitution of false doctrines of men for the truth of God’s Word in Matthew 15:9. How do these doctrines pervert truth? There are several ways in which a believer can test the validity of a doctrine. First, it will not contradict Holy Scripture. Second, it will build up faith in God alone. Third, it will not subvert morality and righteousness. Fourth, it will promote the spiritual maturity of the believer.
In the Last Days certain false doctrines are to be prominent (I Timothy 4:1-7; Matthew 24:23-26). Paul gives us some sound instruction regarding doctrine in Titus 2:1-15. Evaluate this passage and see some of the fundamentals of sound doctrine on which we can establish a successful experience.

The Bible says that God is Love. God loves and cares about you and me.
In fact, God loved us so much that He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross so that we could be saved. (John 3:16)
Thank the Lord for each other. Share His love with someone. Give someone a hug!
Ask the Lord to show you what He wants you to do for yourself and others!
