The purpose of this series is to look at the concept of baptism as it is described in the Scriptures. Most people have a very narrow view of baptism that is often based on church traditions rather than the Word of God. Baptism, as it is seen in both the Old and New Testaments, is a much deeper subject; it has great spiritual meaning beyond that of a simple religious ordinance or ritual. When a person hears the word “baptism” their first thought is usually water baptism, but there are many different baptisms spoken of in the Scriptures, most of which do not involve water at all. In this series of lessons, we examine the various baptisms found in the Scriptures to see the origin and meaning of the word, and to understand the importance of the spiritual baptism that places us in Christ in this present dispensation.

These Bible lessons were taught by Pastor Gregg Bing in 2021-2022 during the adult Sunday school class at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Function of the Body - Part 2

The Body of Christ

One function of the Church, the Body of Christ, is to glorify and honor the Head, which we saw in the previous message. Another function of the Body is to grow, both in numbers as more believers are added to the Church, but also to grown in spiritual maturity. The key to this growth is growing into a full knowledge of Christ through the study of the Scriptures, and then holding fast to the Christ as our Head in everything we do.

Scripture References: Ephesians 4:7-16
