Biblical Foundation

“Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”  

Hebrews 10:23-25 NKJV


APPLICATION

If you do not become a member of a local church after you get saved, you isolate yourself to do the following alone:

  • Hold fast to your confession of hope alone

  • Put yourself in remembrance of God’s faithfulness alone

  • Stir yourself up in love and good works alone

  • Keep your own assembly alone

  • Exhort yourself alone.

This indeed is not God’s best for you. Hence, it’s good to become a member of the local church [the Body of Christ]!

Membership Benefits

A Christian who is not a member of a local congregation is like an ORGAN without a body, a SHEEP without a shepherd, and an ORPHAN without a family.

Remember, we have one body, but many members and we are the Body of Christ. 

(1 Corinthians 12:12-28)

A sheep without a shepherd can easily go astray and wander in wilderness. 

(1 King 22:17; 1 Peter 2:25)

The Lord Jesus Christ is the head of the family of God, and you are a family member.

(Ephesians 3:14-15)

MEMBERSHIP COMMITMENT: Tithes

Tithes: the First 10% of our earnings

It is the expression of your faith and trust in God as your sole provider.

It helps you acknowledge the countless blessings of God, including your finances.

It gives you an opportunity to participate in the advancement of His work on earth through the Church.

Abraham, our father of faith, paid tithe under Grace 

(Genesis 14:18-23, Hebrews 7:7-8)

MEMBERSHIP COMMITMENT: Offering

Offering: different from tithe and has no specific percentage. It is a generous, sacrificial giving to meet needs.

It is an additional opportunity to finance the work of the Kingdom (Matthew 6:33)

It promotes cheerful giving

(2 Corinthians 9:7-10) 

Abraham, our father of faith, paid tithe under Grace 

It opens doors for others to give unto you (Luke 6:38)
