Failure to see Jesus Christ as the final revelation of truth is a major error that will open the door of the church to a multitude of heresies, taught in the name of truth. Every true movement initiated by the Spirit of God leads men back to the words of Christ which were inscripturated by His own inspiration.

Ideas to launch a small Christian group

Worship/Study Group

 

And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question, to test him.
"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law ?"

And Jesus said to him,

"You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,

and with all your soul, and with all your mind.

Thus is the great and first commandment.

And a second is like it,

You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

On these two commandments depend all the Law and the prophets.
