Oakman Church of Christ

For Our Visitors-What to Expect

1. Friendliness: When you visit us, you can expect to find friendly people who are genuinely concerned about you. YOU WILL BE OUR HONORED GUEST! God does not show partiality to men (Acts 10:34-35). Likewise Christians assembling a the church of Christ in Oakman, AL do not show partiality toward men. (cf. Rom 12:9-16; James 21-13).

2. Order: Paul commands that all things in the church be done decently and in order (1 Cor 14:40). During our worship services, you will see that we have a preset order which has been determined in accordance with God's word. One man will make announcements, another one or more will lead singing, others will lead prayers, and some others will serve the Lord's Supper and take up the collection. During our Bible classes, you will see the class courteously conducted in a edifying manner. We search the Scriptures diligently to rightly divide God's word.

3. A Church of Christ: The word "church" means a called out body. Christians are people who respond to God's gospel call (II Thess 2:4). When you visit with us, you will see that we teach and do the things which are authorized in God's word. Scripture is our only guide (II Tim 3_15-17). We neither add to God's word nor take away from God's word (Rev 22:18-19).

4. A Church Obeying Jesus: What would you expect when visiting a faithful church of Christ? Bible study on the church of Christ. If you wish we will show you God's commands in the Bible and help you obey that very hour of the day. And you can be like the Ethiopian eunuch who was baptized and went on his way rejoicing (Acts 8:38-39).

I've Learned Enough

During their conversation at a dinner party, Albert Einstein's young neighbor asked the white-haired scientist, "What are you actually by profession?" "I devote myself to the study of physics," Einstein replied. The girl looked at him in astonishment. "You mean to say you study physics at your age?" she exclaimed. "I finished studying physics a year ago” (Today in the Word, September 25, 1992).

It's a pretty common mindset. Any student in school longs for the day when they can “finish.” Maybe a student is excited for the day when he can stop taking math classes. Perhaps another student looks forward to being done with college, so she doesn’t have to take classes anymore. In general, there is an excitement to “stop learning.” Unfortunately, if we aren’t learning and growing, we are becoming stagnant and outdated.

Unfortunately, this also happens spiritually. Maybe at one point, a Christian was very dedicated to studying God’s word and developing great spiritual habits, but now that Christian is coasting. We need to be reminded that God commands spiritual growth (Ephesians 4:14-16; Hebrews 5:12:14;). He calls for us to “increase in knowledge” (Colossians 1:9-10), to “grow in respect to salvation” as well as to grow in “grace and knowledge” (2 Peter 2:1-2; 3:18). We cannot grow spiritually stagnant.

There is no doubt that Einstein was a lifelong learner. He understood that there was always room to grow and more to learn. Similarly, Paul, late in his life, even though his knowledge and spirituality were incredible, asked for Timothy to bring him the books and parchments (2 Timothy 4:13). Paul wanted to keep learning.

Let’s never allow ourselves to get to the point where we think we have learned and grown enough spiritually.
