This is a message from Bro. Roy Graneau, South Edmonton Church of Christ.
Is the name of the church important?


1. The church belongs to Christ

Mt 16:13-19

18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

2. God has placed all things spiritual in one name, not names: the name of Jesus

Acts 4:10-12

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Eph 5:23-25

3. The church is married to Christ, not man

22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it
