Identifying The Church of Jesus Christ

The Church of Jesus Christ in the OT

Daniel Chapter 2:44

Daniel 2:44 And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the Kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.


Isaiah 2:1-5

The house of God would begin in Jerusalem

David spoke Ps 118:22-2422 The stone which the builders

rejected has become the chief cornerstone.

23 This was the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day the Lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.


Eph 2:19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,

20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

1 Peter 2:4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,

5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion a chief cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."

Jesus, the apostles and prophets, are the foundation

Living stones are added

Spiritual House, Household of God, Temple in the Lord


Foundation, stones, and then the building

God’s house is the church

Those in God’s house are where?


1 Tim 3:15 but if I am delayed, I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

John the Baptist The church established

Our purpose is to identify the church of Jesus Christ


Matt 3:1-2 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!"


Matt 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

Jesus preached the same as John


Matt 16:18 And I also say to you

that you are Peter, and on this rock

I will build My church, and the gates

of Hades shall not prevail against it.

19 And I will give you the keys of

the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will

be bound in heaven, and whatever

you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

I will build My church,

And

I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven


Acts chapter two

Acts 2:36-39 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, "Men and brethren, what shall we do?"

Acts chapter two

38 Then Peter said to them, "Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call."

Acts chapter two

Acts 2:47Praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning


Acts 2:1-4 When the Day of Pentecost

had fully come, they were all with one

accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound

from heaven, as of a rushing mighty

wind,and it filled the whole house where

they were sitting.3 Then there appeared to them

divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.4 And they were all filled with the

Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

This is the beginning?

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, 3 forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
