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.
There are many prophetic types in the Old Testament which help us to understand more clearly the reality of the New Testament. Such is the case with Moses, the prophet who casts one of the clearest of prophetic types and shadows that can be found in the entire Bible. Jesus was the prophet like Moses.
KEY TEXT: For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me...Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you (Acts 3:22,26).
Jesus Christ was indeed the fulfillment of the prophecy of Moses in Deuteronomy 18:15. Those who would not hear Him were cut off from being a part of Gods chosen people. This prophecy was preached extensively in the Early Church as evidenced by Acts 3:22 and Acts 7:37.
The interesting thing about the prophecy was that Jesus was to be like Moses. Consider how at His birth Jesus was like Moses (Matthew 2:15,16; Exodus 1:22; 2:3,4).
Both Moses and Jesus were led of God into the wilderness to fast for forty days. Compare these events (Exodus 34:28; Matthew 4:1,2).
Both Moses and Jesus were lawgivers (Exodus 20:1-17; Matthew 22:37-40; John 13:34).
Moses delivered the children of Israel from Egyptian bondage while Jesus delivered the whole world from the bondage of sin and death. Discuss this prophetic shadow which Moses cast for the Messiah, the Son of God (Exodus 3:9-10; Hebrews 2:9,14,15).
Moses chose twelve leaders of the tribes and seventy elders of the people (Numbers 17:2; 11:16). Jesus fulfilled this work in choosing twelve apostles and seventy prophets (Mark 3:13,14; Matthew 19:28; Luke 10:1). Notice also that Joshua (not Moses) chose seven (Joshua 6:4) and James (not Jesus) chose the seven of the Early Church (Acts 6:3).
Compare the fact that Moses established the church in the wilderness (Acts 7:38; Matthew 16:18). Discuss this amazing parallel.

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!
