If any of you has a dispute with another, dare heMeaning for the Church take it before the ungodly for judgment instead of before the saints? 1 Corinthians 6:1.According to Smiths Bible Dictionary:1. The derivation of the word is generally said to be from the Greek kuriakon"belonging to the Lord. But the derivation has been too hastily assumed.2. It is probably connected with kirk, the Latin circus, circulus, the Greek kuklosbecause the congregations were gathered in circles.3. The word Church comes from the Greek word "ecclesia" which means "Assembly"or a congregation of "called out ones". Ecclesia the Greek word for church,originally meant an assembly called out by the magistrate, or by legitimateauthority. It was in this last sense that the word was adapted and applied by the writers of the New Testament to the Christian congregation.Warran Wiersbe writes, The "kingdom of heaven" is a mixture of good and evil, true and false. It is not the church. The church is in the kingdom of heaven, but distinct from it. The kingdomof heaven is equivalent to our term "Christendom."The Greek word in the New Testament for our English word church is ekklesia. It is derivedfrom the verb ekkaleo. The compound ek means out, and kaleo means to call or summon. Thus, the literal meaning is to call out. 28 June 2011 Church Orders 8 9. Kingdom of God to the Church And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and thegates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

To call out from where and for what?Is it called out from Kingdom of Satan or from Kingdom of God?According to Jesus in Matthew 16:13-15 I will build my church fromthis rock which is Kingdom of God not Jesus Christ.It is from the Greek word "petros" that the word Peter is taken. "Petros" in the Greek means a stone,Kingdomthe small fragment of a rock, while the Greek wordof Satan"Petra" means a rock, or large mass of stone. Church (Bride) is called out fromO the Kingdom of God not from the Kingdom of Satan.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.2. After all, no one ever hated his own body, but he feeds and cares for it, just as Christ does the church for we are members of his body.For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be unitedto his wife, and the two will become one flesh.This is a profound mystery but I am talking about Christ and the Church.28 June 2011Church Orders 15 16.

The Book of Revelation1. Revelation is the only prophetical book in the New Testament (in contrast to seventeen books in the Old Testament).2. Revelation is the only book in the entire Bible which begins by promising a special blessing on those who study it, and ends by promising a special curse on those who add or take away from it.3. It was written by John the apostle, who had already written four other New Testament books. They are: The Gospel of John, 1 John, 2 John, and 3 John. The author had previously reached farther back into eternity than any other Bible writer. In Revelation he reaches farther on into eternity than any other writer. Revelation is totally a book about Gods Lamb. The book can thus be outlined as follows: A. The Witnesses of the Lamb Instructed (1-3) B. The Worship of the Lamb Invited (4-5 C. The Wrath of the Lamb Invoked (6-19) D. The Reign of the Lamb Instituted (20) E. The Wife of the Lamb Introduced (21- 22) 28 June 2011Church Orders 22 23. Revelation outline1.

Jesus and Church will be New Jerusalem but the people in Kingdom of God will be all over the new World and they will bring their gifts to the New City ( Jerusalem) (Rev. 21:24).28 June 2011Church Orders23 24.
