  1. Which Church belongs to Christ Jesus the Lord? Acts 19:29-39, 40-41 “for the assembly was confused, and most of them did not know why they had come together.” “it shall be determined in the lawful assembly.” “And when he had said these things, he dismissed the assembly.”

  2. Matthew 16:18 Many in the past were taught that John 15:1-14, teaches “churches are branches”, but let us examine this passage to see if this is what Jesus was teaching in the context of the passage? Let us consider what is right, not who is right.

  3. Do All Churches Belong to Christ? • Matthew 7:21-23 • Matthew 15:7-9 • 1 Corinthians 4:6 “Are there Christians in all churches?”

  4. “BUT WHAT’S IN A NAME?” This is not a debate about “your church, my church”, but a friendly discussion as we consider what the scriptures teach. • Acts 4:8-12 (Consider Acts 2:40-41) • Ephesians 1:21-23

  5. Jesus is the Savior of His Church! • He is not the Savior of anyone else’s church. • He gave Himself for His church! Matthew 16:18 • He does not allow others to misrepresent Him, “Who do men say that I am?” • I do not claim to own a church, for I have never died for any church!

  6. Jesus is the King of One Kingdom! • Jesus is the King of His Kingdom! • “Kingdom of His Dear Son” – Colossians 1:13, note it doesn’t say Kingdoms! • If Jesus is the King, then why do people call Him Lord and do not the things that He commands? Luke 6:46 • Jesus told Pilate, “My Kingdom is not of this world!”

  7. Colossians 1:21-26 • Ephesians 3:1-12 • Ephesians 5:23-33 “I speak in regard to Christ and the church”
