Welcome to the Brown Street church of Christ Blog
How do your priorities line up? When reflecting upon your life, can you honestly say that you consistently put God’s will before your own? If we are honest, we would all probably admit that we fail in this area sometimes. This week, let us consider having our priorities properly aligned. The kingdom of God should […]
We close this week by looking at something that should be a very easy and comforting truth for us to believe—Jesus is our Savior. This was the very purpose of Him coming into this world. Matthew 1:21 (ESV) 21 She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save […]
To declare our belief in Jesus is to acknowledge that He is Lord. It was the acceptance of this that lead to the establishment of the church on the day of Pentecost. Acts 2:36, 41 (ESV) 36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and […]
Confessing that Jesus is the Son of God is a part of God’s plan of salvation. Before the Ethiopian eunuch could be baptized into Christ, he first had to make this good confession. Acts 8:36-38 (NKJV) 36 Now as they went down the road, they came to some water. And the eunuch said, “See, here […]

As Christians, we do not have to guess about where we will spend eternity. The Bible was written so that we might know. 1 John 5:11-13 (NKJV) 11 And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; […]
Knowing the will of God is more important than most people will ever know. Some love to learn things and accumulate knowledge, but if you do not learn the will of God, all the other knowledge that you spend a lifetime amassing, will all come to naught. If you come to know the will of […]
The Bible serves many purposes in our lives. We have already seen that it warns us about our living and produces faith in our lives. If that was all that the Bible did, it would still be the greatest book in the world, but, fortunately, it does much more than that. It also serves to […]
