  1. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15 (NASU)

  2. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15 (NASU) lit., "to cut straight" (orthos, "straight," temno, "to cut"), is found in 2 Tim 2:15, KJV, "rightly dividing," RV, "handling aright" (the word of truth); the meaning passed from the idea of cutting or "dividing," to the more general sense of "rightly dealing with a thing." What is intended here is not "dividing" Scripture from Scripture, but teaching Scripture accurately. Vine’s Dictionary

  3. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. 2 Tim. 2:15 (NASU) • In our teaching the word of truth, we need to be as accurate as possible: • Words/phrases: vehicles that convey correct thoughts • Visual illustrations: accurate representations of concepts

  4. Upon this rock I will build my church Matthew 16:18 Because of what is said about it in the NT, it is vital that our concept of this church be as accurate as possible and that we speak of it and visually illustrated it in terms that are scripturally accurate. What did Jesus establish?

  8. Upon this rock I will build my church Matthew 16:18 NOT some “institution” into which the lost are placed. What did Jesus establish? This concept makes “the church” some “thing” other than the saved and is an unscriptural concept. This is not an accurate illustration of what the word of truth teaches about the church. saved saved savedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsavedsaved The Church of Christ

  10. Upon this rock I will build my church Matthew 16:18 NOTsomething that, once established, apostatized/ceased to exist, and was later restored. What did Jesus establish? Joseph Smith didn’t restore the gospel because nothing ever happened to it that caused it to need to be restored and Mormons who claim it needed restored are wrong.

  11. Upon this rock I will build my church Matthew 16:18 NOTsomething that, once established, apostatized/ceased to exist, and was later restored. What did Jesus establish?

  12. Upon this rock I will build my church Matthew 16:18 NOTsomething that, once established, apostatized/ceased to exist, and was later restored.

Centuries of ignorance and superstition led to the birth of the apostate church…

  13. Upon this rock I will build my church Matthew 16:18 NOTsomething that, once established, apostatized/ceased to exist, and was later restored. What did Jesus establish? …men like Alexander Campbell, Barton W. Stone, and John Smith.

  14. Upon this rock I will build my church Matthew 16:18 NOTsomething that, once established, apostatized/ceased to exist, and was later restored. What did Jesus establish? Alexander Campbell didn’t restore the church because nothing ever happened to it that caused it to need to be restored and “Church of Christ people” who claim it apostatized and needed restored are just as wrong as the Mormons. “The apostasy and restoration of the church” does not reflect accurate understanding of the church Jesus built

Were the various sermons in Acts, “Church of Christ sermons”? Did Peter preach a “Church of Christ sermon” on Pentecost? Did Paul help to start “Church of Christ churches”?
