Lesson 2 (2 of 2) The Organization Of The Church
The Worship Of The Church
Scripture Readings: Isaiah 5:20–21 & James 4:17
_________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________________________________________________
John 4:24 - Must we worship God in spirit and in truth? ___________________________
John 17:17 - What is truth? __________________________________________________
- Since we must worship God in truth, must we worship as God has directed in the Bible?
________
Matthew 15:9 - Is it possible to worship God in vain?_____________________________
- If we worship God according to the commandments of uninspired men, will God accept
it? ________
Luke 22:19-20 - Did Jesus command his disciples to partake of the Lord’s Supper? _____
1 Corinthians 10:16 - The cup is a communion of the _____________________ of Christ.
- The bread is a communion of the ____________________________________ of Christ.
Acts 20:7 - When God told the Israelites in Exodus 20:8 to remember the sabbath, did He
mean for them to keep every Sabbath? ____________
- When those Christians met upon the first day of the week to eat the Lord’s Supper, did
they do it on the first day of each week? _____________
- Should Christians today eat the Lord’s Supper upon the first day of the week? _________
Acts 2:42 The disciples continued steadfastly in ___________________,
_____________________, __________________________, and the
________________________.
- Will we be pleasing to God if we continue steadfastly in these things? _______________
*Richard’s personal note: James 4:17 gives us the definition of sin.
1 Corinthians 16:1-2 - Is it God’s will that we give as we have been prospered? ________
- Are we to make a contribution on the same day we are to partake of the Lord’s Supper?
_____
Ephesians 5:19 - Are we to sing? ____________
- Does this passage mention mechanical instruments of music?______________________
- Church historians tell us that the followers of Christ did not use mechanical instruments
of music in their worship for hundreds of years after Christ.
- The Greek Orthodox Church, which broke off from the Roman Catholic Church, has
never used instrumental music in their worship.
- When you attend the worship of the church of Christ, you will notice we do not use in-
strumental music in our worship. The following comparisons help to illustrate the reason:
Genesis 6:14 - God told Noah, “Make thee an ark of gopher wood.”
- Would Noah have sinned if he had built the ark of metal or mud? ________
- Would Noah have sinned if he had built the ark of any other wood? ______
Leviticus 10:1-2 - Did Nadab and Abihu sin when they offered a different kind of fire than
God commanded?_____
- Did God punish them?____________________________

Announcement from the Elders
By now everyone should be aware of the new,
more infectious strain of Covid-19 that is
affecting our nation. As we strive to worship
together, the elders strongly urge each of us to
wear a mask while at services to protect not
only ourselves from this new strain of virus, but
to protect our brothers and sisters who are at risk
of contracting the virus.
