The Work of the Church

1. Having considered the organization and worship of "The Church Jesus
   Built", what about the work of the church...?
   a. What does the Lord intend for His church to do in this world?
   b. Are we free to involve the church in whatever work we deem
      suitable?

2. In asking such questions, we should continue to note the distinction
   between the church universal and the church local...
   a. The church universal has no earthly organization in which to do
      its work; what work it does is done as individuals who live and
      work in the world
   b. The church local has organization as we have seen, and as such is
      capable of some sort of corporate (as opposed to individual) work
   -- It is the work of the church local that I am addressing in this
      study

3. The work of the church can be gleaned in some respects from what is
   revealed about the organization and worship of the church...
   a. For the Lord organized His church to effectively carry out its
      work
   b. And the worship ordained would certainly complement the church in
      its work
   -- Look at the organization and worship of the church, and that
      begins to tell one what the work of the church is!
