“And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” —1 John 5:11-12 NKJV
WELCOME TO "BE ENCOURAGED!"
A Brief History of "The Church"
Yesterday and it's continuing to
build into our hearts today...
The first church to be established was in the city of Jerusalem; hence, it was known simply as the church in Jerusalem (Acts 8:1, 5:11). Its early history is recorded in Acts chapters 1 through 8. According to this account, the ministry of the Apostle Peter was instrumental in establishing the church in Jerusalem. Soon afterward, due to “a great persecution against the church which was in Jerusalem…all [the believers] were scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles” (Acts 8:1). These believers announced the gospel wherever they were scattered, and as a result, additional churches sprang up in the regions of Judea, Galilee, and Samaria (Acts 9:31). Their histories are recorded in Acts chapter 8. Paul and his co-laborers in the Lord, continued to establish church homes throughout. Paul’s epistles to some of these churches reveal that they continued to benefit from his ministry years after they were established. The church continued to come under heavy and dealy persecution but remained faithful to Their Lord and Shepherd Jesus Christ.
Be Encouraged in the WORD Ministries-Christian Church has it's humble beginnings putting forth their hands in loving service as servants of Jesus Christ, June 16, 1998. It's Pastor Tilli A. Tilford and a band of God loving saints set out to accomplish John 17:3 and Matthew 28:19 into the world around them. Despite the popularity of todays "political correctness" Be Encouraged in the WORD Ministries stand with saints all over the world to boldly declare, that JESUS ALONE IS THE WAY TO SALVATION AND TO ETERNAL LIFE as we teach and believe that the BIBLE is ABSOLUTE TRUTH. Our weekly meetings and Sunday Services are filled with the rich enjoyment of Christ, overflowing from our experience of Him in our daily lives. We encourage each other to spend time daily with the Lord in His Word, and to seek for Christ to have the preeminence in all things. This daily living overflows into each of our services and even becomes the content of our daily walk beyond the walls of our sanctuary. We all bring the portion of the Lord we have experienced and enjoyed to share with the other members. Our meetings are a feast upon the riches of Christ, a rich satisfaction to the Lord and to us.
All are welcome to come and enjoy the Lord with us.
