Commitment to the Local Church

Hebrews was written to Jewish converts who had a tendency to return to their old traditions and needed to be reminded that there was a supremacy of Jesus to the Old Testament types and shadows. As New Testament saints, we have unlimited access to God through Jesus Christ; this is our privilege! Based on this privilege, we are instructed by the author of Hebrews not to "forsake the assembling of ourselves together."  Click here to listen to Rev. Rodney Kleyn instruct us in the vital importance of church membership based on this text.

This month’s theme for the app content is “The Necessity of Membership within a True Church of Jesus Christ” in preparation for a free public lecture event held by Hope Protestant Reformed Church on November 11, 2016.  Professor David Engelsma will speak on this topic, answering such questions as “Is membership in a church really necessary?’ and “What qualities should I seek for in a church home?”  To learn more, click here to visit Hope’s website for the event.
