A Family Church
We are a family church who protect each other. We do not allow our members to be maligned in our presence and we do not entertain slanderous report unless one is present to defend themselves. A trustworthy friend is worthy any price any effort any defense. We realize that true friends will always have same enemies and therefore we choose to defend and protect our own.
“A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. His name is Jesus” (Proverbs 18:24) NIV
Worship at Neema Church
The Bible tells us in John 4:23-24, “The the father seeks those who will worship Him in Spirit and Truth” In Spirit means - our whole heart, soul, mind and strength. At the same time, we are required to worship in truth, that is, according to the word of God. When we worship in God’s way, it both pleases Him and sets us free.
1 Peter 1:3 "God has given us the privilege of being born again so that we are now members of God's own family." The Bible says that when you become a believer in Christ, you become a member of a family. The moment you were born into this world physically, you became a part of the human race.
When you were reborn spiritually, born again (that means getting a new start) you were born into God's family. You became a part of His family. The Bible says that the family is called the church. Paul writes to Timothy: "That family is the church of the living God the support and foundation of the truth."
It's interesting to me that the church is not an institution. The church is not a business. The church is not an organization, a social club. The church, the Bible says, is a family. We're a family. It says it's the "…the support and foundation of the truth." If you have ever built a house you know the importance of a good foundation. If you've ever lived through some of the floods we have had here, you know that if you don't have good foundation and good support, your house is going to crumble.
In your life, you're going to have some personal floods, some financial floods, some relational floods, some physical-health problem floods, maybe some moral floods. There's going to be some things that come into your life that shake you to the core.
If you don't have a good foundation, if you don't have good support built up, you're going to crumble. In the future, there's going to be a whole lot of shaking going on. You will have some tough times. The Bible says that God put the church on earth to be the support and the foundation of your life.
