Welcome to our Southeast church of Christ website!
We are grateful with you for making time to inquire and learn more about us. As members of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, our primary goal is to faithfully serve and worship our God in accordance with His word so that all glory may be His through His son (1st Peter 4:11). Understanding that we are epistles of Christ that are known and read by all men, we strive to show that we have been written by the Spirit of the living God (2nd Corinthians 3:2-3).
We believe that the one true God is to be worshiped in spirit and in truth for that is the worship He seeks and approves (John 4:23-24). We offer praises to our God with the fruit of our lips in song without the use of mechanical instruments (Colossians 3:16, Hebrews 13:15). We seek to sing and pray with understanding so that all in attendance may be edified and grow in the grace and the knowledge of our God (1st Corinthians 14:15-17, 2nd Peter 3:17-18). Our prayers are offered in the name of Jesus Christ to the Father so that the Father may be glorified by them(John 14:12-14). Every first day of the week (Sunday) we partake in the Lord's supper in remembrance of Him by eating unleavened bread and drinking fruit of the vine (Matthew 26:26-29, Acts 20:7, 1st Corinthians 11:23-26) and we make a collection for the saints (1st Corinthians 16:1-2, 2nd Corinthians 9:6-8). Also in accordance to His will, we assemble in fellowship and study our God's word together admonishing and exhorting each other to stir up love and good works with the whole truth of our God (Hebrews 10:24-25). We diligently work to present ourselves without shame before our God and preach with the purpose to convince, rebuke, and exhort with God's word His truth (2nd Timothy 2:15, 4:1-2). Finally, we press forward and try with our best effort to be the light of this world trying to shine bright to help lead all those who seek God find and glorify Him (Matthew 5:14-16, Philippians 2:14-16).
Therefore, we hope this will shed some light as to who we are and how we worship in spirit and in truth to be found approved servants of God. All of us here at the Southeast church of Christ invite and encourage you to come worship with us so that God may be always praised!
The Jeopardy of Shallow Roots (9-9-18)
“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20) The bitter lament penned by the inspired prophet describing Israel’s cruel attitude toward men of God is, regrettably, an accurate…

A Merciful Quarantine (Part 5) (8-26-18)
Treason is the highest form of crime in the United States. It is arguably the most heinous act any person can commit. Indeed traitors are viewed by society as despicable with scornful eyes, considered to be emotionless. It is tragic to consider that those who in recent times have betrayed…
A Merciful Quarantine (Part 4) (8-19-18)
An outbreak is defined as “a sudden or violent increase in activity or currency” (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary). When multiple cases of a particular disease suddenly begin to rise at an abnormal rate in a specific area, within the same time frame, experts begin to suspect the possibility of an epidemic…
A Merciful Quarantine (Part 3) (8-12-18)
In 1347, corpses of Mongol warriors from the Golden Horde were flung over the walls of the port city of Kaffa into the Black Sea. Although this action may have had an appearance of a ceremony meant to honor their fallen soldiers, in actuality it is believed to be the…
A Merciful Quarantine (Part 2) (8-5-18)
“Gold, God, and Glory!” This is the moniker used by modern Historians to describe the spark that ignited the Old World’s desire to explore, expand, and conquer the New World. Commencing in the late fifteenth century, lucrative merchants persuaded their western European monarchies that a direct trade route to Asia…
A Merciful Quarantine (Part 1) (7-29-18)
Undeniably, all diseases are cruel experiences no one desires. The discomfort, inconvenience, and, most of all, the pain they impose are some of the reasons we all try to avoid them. Although it is true that living a healthy lifestyle (such as exercising daily and eating healthy) minimizes the risk…
Delusive Love (7-22-18)
“If you love me, you will accept me as I am.” But, is this statement completely true? Ironically, those who have heralded these words before are at once offended by this author’s question, and yet it is the ambiguity of the phrase that begs the question. Without question these words…
Truth and Error – Part 2 (7-15-18)
Last week we considered the conflict between truth and error. They are opposites and as a follower of God, we must seek the truth: Proverbs 23:23 “Buy the truth, and sell it not; Yea, wisdom, and instruction, and understanding.” Also: Matt. 6:24 “No man can serve two masters: for either…
Truth Versus Error (7-8-18)
In this and next week’s lessons, we will look at the conflict of truth versus error and what the Christian’s response should be to error. The Jews in the first century tried to blur the distinction between the two by accusing Christ of being from the Devil and using the…
