* *Can we really identify the church that Jesus built? Or did God leave us to choose from thousands of denominations?* *

In this episode of the * *Biblical Christianity Podcast* *, we examine the powerful Old Testament prophecies that foretold the establishment of the Lord's church centuries before it came into existence. By studying passages such as * *Isaiah 2, Daniel 2, Joel 2, 2 Samuel 7,* * and their fulfillment in * *Acts 2* *, we discover that God gave unmistakable identifying marks concerning His church.

Together, we answer questions such as:

* Who would establish the church?

* When would it be established?

* Where would it begin?

* Who would be invited into it?

* Can we still identify the New Testament church today?

The Bible doesn't leave these questions unanswered. Just as identifying characteristics allow someone to recognize a specific person, Scripture provides clear identifying marks that point to the one church Christ promised to build.

If you're sincerely seeking biblical truth, this study will challenge you to compare modern religious claims with God's inspired blueprint.

* *Key Scriptures:* *

• Isaiah 2

• Daniel 2

• Joel 2

• 2 Samuel 7

• Zechariah 6 & 13

• Matthew 16:18

• Luke 24:44-49

• Acts 1-2

• 1 Timothy 3:15

Did Jesus build one church, or does the Bible authorize people to “join the church of their choice”? In this episode, we examine what Jesus and His apostles taught about the New Testament church, Christian unity, and denominational division.

Ronnie Scherffius and David Johnson, instructors at the Texas School of Preaching, begin with Jesus’ statement in Matthew 16:18: “I will build My church.” The possessive expression “My church” identifies both ownership and authority—the church belongs to Christ.

This study considers:

• Why the church belongs to Christ
• Why “church of Christ” describes the church belonging to Christ rather than a denominational organization
• How the New Testament identifies the church as the body of Christ
• Why “one body” means one church
• Why Paul condemned division and the wearing of human religious names
• Why the branches in John 15 are individual disciples, not denominations
• What Jesus meant by “one fold and one shepherd”
• How Jews and Gentiles were reconciled to God in one body
• Why every religious plant not planted by God will be rooted up
• How to identify the church revealed in the New Testament

The question is not simply, “Which church do I prefer?” The question is, “Which church is described in the word of God?”

Why are you a member of the church you attend? Is it because of family tradition, convenience, or because it can be identified in Scripture?

In this episode, we begin examining the distinctive nature of the church of Christ, showing that Jesus is its builder, its foundation, and its only rightful head. We also consider why every belief and religious practice must be tested by the Word of God.
