The Work of the Church
|
 |
|
According to the Bible, the work of the church is preaching the word of God, edifying the saints, and providing benevolence to needy saints.
| 2 Timothy 4:2-4 |
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. |
| 1 Thessalonians 5:11 |
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. |
| Romans 12:13 |
Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. |
| 2 Corinthians 8:4 |
Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. |
