Cedar Springs Church of Christ

       The Word of God’s mandate, which is a word defined as an official order, command, or the authorized power to act, gives us clear instruction or permission, especially by the Church of Christ’s New Testament rule of faith, concerning the souls of everyone. In the verb tense, mandate means to officially require or make something mandatory.
       This congregation needs teachers, front line, and substitutes, to ease the burden for those who are currently teachers in the Lord’s church, who have been teaching for lengthy periods of time, or have currently started without support from all of those who are not teachers, to receive relief during Wednesday night Bible classes and Sunday morning Bible classes.
      “For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teaches you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God: and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.” (Heb 5: 12)
      Therefore, the mandate is we must grow in the knowledge of Jesus Christ. We must conclude the problem with lack of teachers is not numbers, but the lack of knowledge gained to teach those inside the church and outside the church to save the lost, with truth of Jesus, in all humanity.
