Are all churches good? Pastor Dwayne started from Ephesians 5 looking at the parallels of a good marriage and the relationship between Jesus and his church.

Ephesians 5:21-27|NIV
21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. Ephesians 5:32|NIV This is a profound mystery--but I am talking about Christ and the church. |
Matthew 16:18|NIV And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
Hebrews 13:8|NIV Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. Leviticus 10:1-2|NIV 1 Aaron's sons Nadab and Abihu took their censers, put fire in them and added incense; and they offered unauthorized fire before the LORD, contrary to his command. 2 So fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD. Acts 5:4-5|NIV 4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God." 5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. |
