1. Who established the church?

2. What’s the difference between the universal church and local church?

3. Why did God establish the church? In other words, what’s its main purpose?

4-6. What three things should the church be doing to build up the brethren?

7-8. What are the two ordinances given to the church? Why are they important?

9-11. What are the three types of church structure that most churches today organize themselves?

12. Does the Scripture require people to join the local church as a member? Cite a verse.

14.5 Let’s Personalize this Lesson…

Are you actively involved in a local church? According to God’s Word, you should be. If not, why
don’t you find a local group of believers who worship together and join them? If you do, then
resolve to help out more, using your spiritual gifts to minister to other believers.
