Reconstructing the Local Church through God's Word and Holy Spirit-Directed Approaches
Résumé
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” (Rom 8:14). This passage encapsulates the pneumagogy of the Church of Christ discussed in this paper: the Universal and Local Churches. The major role of the church is to proclaim the gospel of salvation through Christ Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit (Matt 28:18-20; Mk 16:15-16; Acts 1:8). God’s Word and the Holy Spirit are mentioned together many times in the Bible (Eph 6:17; 2 Tim 3:15, 16). God’s Word is spoken by the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:20, 21). The present church is not expected to do less. However, to a great extent, the contemporary church is bereft of God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit. Hence, this study chooses to reconstruct the local church through God’s Word and Holy Spirit-directed approaches. The methodology adopted in this work is Solus Primus Scriptura Research (SPSR) and expository research model. The paper also used extra-biblical sources, such as Christian books, journals, and websites relevant to the study, as its secondary sources. The Bible is the only primary source of this research work.
