Church Services Sunday Night

The Church of God in Kenosha WI invites you to come as you are and experience the love and grace of Jesus of Nazareth.

The Church has a several fold reason for existing in the world today.

These important purposes are divinely originated and are found in the New Testament.

The Bible declares that Christ came to “…gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad” (John 11:52); see also Ephesians 1:10.

Jesus set His Church in order as that “one fold” (John 10:14-16) in which is embodied and will be manifested all of His fulness (Ephesians 1:22, 23).

Therefore, it is imperative that the world know about The Church of God, “…the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15).

The faith of the gospel has been committed solely into the hands of the Church and thus the responsibility for keeping and guarding the faith rests upon the Church’s shoulders.

It is The Church of God’s duty to keep the faith pure and unadulterated and to defend it against all enemies.

One phase of keeping and guarding the faith is the searching out and putting into operation God’s laws for the Church, the full restoration of the New Testament doctrine and governing principles.

These teachings are all based on the Scripture; they were taught and practiced by the early Church; and they have been searched out in these last days by godly men and women not concerned with their own opinions.

However, the Church does not make a “hobby horse” of any one teaching or group of teachings, but accepts the whole Bible rightly divided with the New Testament as the only rule for government and discipline.

These teachings of the Church do not constitute a creed or statement of beliefs, for The Church of God accepts the whole Bible as the inspired Word of God.

All those who become members of the Church assume the following obligation: “Will you sincerely promise in the presence of God and these witnesses that you will accept this Bible as the Word of God—believe and practice its teachings rightly divided—the New Testament as your rule of faith and practice, government and discipline, and walk in the light to the best of your knowledge and ability?” This is a “perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.” Repentance is both a condition and an act; it is the state of being in Godly sorrow for sins committed and the act of turning from and forsaking those sins.

“For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death” (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Also, read Mark 1:15; Luke 13:3; Acts 3:19.

Repentance is a prerequisite for justification.

When a person is sanctified wholly he is eligible for the indwelling of the Holy Ghost.

This indwelling is a definite and instantaneous experience described in the Scripture by the word “baptism,” and always accompanied by the evidence of speaking in other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.

It has no reference to water baptism, regeneration or sanctification.

It is the filling of the temple already made clean by sanctification.

It is not a work of grace but a gift of God in answer to the prayer of Christ.

The baptism of the Holy Ghost is an enduement of power for service.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Read 1 Corinthians 3:16, 17; Luke 24:49; Matthew 3:11.

The Spirit-filled life will manifest the fruit of the Spirit.

Galatians 5:22, 23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is not law.” These virtues cannot be manifested by the flesh or by human nature.

They are divine in origin and must spring from a Spirit-filled heart.

Read Romans 6:22; Ephesians 5:9; Philippians 1:11.

Restitution is the act of restoring something wrongfully taken or the satisfying of one who has been wronged.

God requires those who become converted to perform such tasks if at all possible.

“And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold.

And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham” (Luke 19: 8, 9).

Read Matthew 3:8; Romans 13:8.

The New Testament makes no rigid rule concerning what the Christian shall eat or drink (with the exception of strong drink).

Thus, we have no right to judge what our brother eats or what he drinks.

The legal restrictions of Jewish law concerning these were not extended into the Grace Dispensation.

“For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost” (Romans 14:17).

Read Romans 14:2, 3; 1 Corinthians 8:8; 1 Timothy 4:1-5.

The Bible is opposed to the people of God being unequally yoked together with unbelievers; it is opposed to deeds done in secret; and it demands the complete and undivided loyalty of God’s children.

John 18:20, “Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.” Read 2 Corinthians 6:14-17; Ephesians 5:12, 13.

Also many secret societies require the taking of an oath which is expressly forbidden by Scripture.
