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!
Godly Sorrow (10-16-16)
It is said that there are three parts to a proper apology: 1. What I did was wrong, 2. I feel badly that I hurt you, and 3. How can I make this better? In our last article, we were able to awe at the magnificent restoring power forgiveness contains.…
The Restoring Power of Forgiveness (10-9-16)
Eighteenth century English poet Alexander Pope once wrote, “To err is human; to forgive, divine.” These words spark a question in my mind’s eye: What is more difficult? To ask for forgiveness or to forgive our offender? It is clear that Pope has already provided his answer since he states…
A man attested by God (10-2-16)
A miracle is defined as “an unusual or wonderful event that is believed to be caused by the power of God” (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary). Like everything else with our God, miracles have (or rather had) a specific purpose for being performed by His servants before the eyes of those who…
“You Almost Persuade Me” (9-25-16)
From the summer of the year 58 AD to the fall of the year 60 AD, the apostle Paul lived as a prisoner of Rome. The Jews from Jerusalem accused him of violating the Law of Moses by preaching the gospel of Christ and diligently sought to kill him. Their…
The Flames of Irreverence (9-18-16)
It is indisputable that God has always demanded to be glorified by and in His chosen people. In every dispensation (Patriarchal, Mosaic, and Christian) God’s chosen people are quickly recognized to belong to Him by the displayed holiness of their lives. A life that easily distinguishes itself from the rest…
Eternity Placed in the Hearts of Man (9-11-16)
The concept of time has always been a fascinating subject of study for man. We are mesmerized by its inescapable velocity with which it travels during our lives. Although the sands of time never stop pouring, man has yet to give up on his hope for freezing time on a…
The Path that Leads to Greatness (9-4-16)
Honor is a privilege that is commonly confused with recognition. In the Old English epic poem Beowulf, this is wonderfully illustrated by the title character’s vague understanding of what it means to be honorable. In the poem, Beowulf’s need to always prove himself a hero to his audience eventually becomes…
The Case of Decaying Bones (8-28-16)
“A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones” (Proverbs 14:30) A wise bear once said, “Only you can prevent forest fires.” Although these words are spoken in a literal sense to advertise and promote caution when putting out camp fires in the woods,…
The Useless Religion (8-21-16)
There are certain questions that we come across during our lifetime that can impact and alter the way that we live. The majority of the time these questions relate to our habits, beliefs, and some times even our personal opinions regarding people or certain practices. Yet, there is one question…
An Ominous Tale of Sheep and Goats (Part II) (8-14-16)
Let us begin by reviewing what we have been able to comprehend thus far. We have learned that the purpose of a parable is to teach a moral or spiritual lesson. It was the preferred style of teaching used by our Savior during His time on this earth. In a…
