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!
Now May Be the Time That We Need to Give Up, Admit We Are Defeated, and Quit (3-12-23)
By: John Mitchell GIVE UP, trying to always have everything our way. We thought our way was the best way for us, but our life is much less than it could be, because we have been the one in control of it. ADMIT, that the devil has used our pride,…
Conduits of the Living Waters (2-26-23)
By: Obed Pineda “Also I heard the voice of the LORD, saying: ‘Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?’ Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’” (Isaiah 6:8) A conduit is a channel of some form that is typically used to transmit or distribute something through…
Follow the Money (2-19-23)
By: Joel Ramirez “Follow the money” is an old catchphrase that suggests political corruption can be brought to light by examining money transfers between parties. But this is also a great way to see what people invest their time and efforts into by seeing where they spend their earnings. Last…
Religion vs Relationship (2-12-23)
By: Orean Brown Many people today disparage “organized religion.” Instead, they simply desire a “personal relationship” with the Lord. However, this is not an “either-or” proposition. In our service to God, we have personal and corporate responsibilities. Notice what Paul wrote to the church in Ephesus: “And He gave some…
Asa’s Courageous Attempt (2-5-23)
By: Obed Pineda Of the twenty kings who ruled the southern kingdom of Judah (after the twelves tribes of Israel split into two kingdoms) only a handful of them are described by Holy Writ as good and righteous rulers, who “did what was good and right in the eyes of…
The Worst Choice Ever Made (1-29-23)
By: Obed Pineda Around the year 1050 B.C. the children of Israel made the most tragic and unwise decision in their history, by placing themselves on the “broad…way that leads to destruction” (Matthew 5:13b). The prophet Samuel (and Israel’s last righteous judge) had grown old and he had passed on…
The Missing Preposition (1-22-23)
By: Obed Pineda When committing Scripture to memory, it is common to often overlook the “small” words that are found within the pericope. The group of words that are perhaps almost always dismissed as unimportant are known in English literature as prepositions. Although small in comparison to other words in…
If We Don’t Say No To Ourselves, We Can’t Say Yes To God (1-15-23)
By John Mitchell When we say yes to God’s plan of salvation for us, we have to say no to our old unsaved ways of life. I’ll explain this by looking at God’s plan of salvation. #1 Hear the gospel. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the…
The Siren’s Song (1-8-23)
By: Obed Pineda It has been suggested that legends and myths are not simply fantasized stories told for entertainment, but instead are object lessons purposely hyperbolized so that the listener will not easily forget the instruction. This theory may find some strength if one approaches Greek mythology with it in…
The Simplicity of the Plan of Salvation (12-25-22)
By: Phil Hopkins The Bible and God’s plan for the salvation of mankind is one of the most simplest and easy to understand messages for all of mankind. The scriptures that tell a person how to become a Christian are plain and understandable. What is truly flabbergasting is how difficult…
