“ Awesome Sermon! ” Somewhat accidentally, I saw the live webcast of this sermon. It is one of the best sermons I have ever heard with respect to getting guidance on an important issue for which the Bible may not give an explicit answer. In the sermon, Pastor Barkman considers whether it is necessary for a Christian to be, formally, a member of a local church, as well as closely related issues (such as church discipline). To answer these questions, he read to the congregation a number of scattered passages from various places in the NT (at least three books of the NT, maybe more, were cited). Then he made very sound and unassailable inferences from the collection of these somewhat incidental passages to get to the ultimate answer to the question of whether formal, local church membership is necessary for the Christian. In addition to getting a welcomed education on this particular issue, I also learned that knowing the Bible thoroughly, thoroughly, thoroughly is essential to understanding what we're supposed to do. Just reading little bits here and there, superficially, isn't going to give sufficient understanding for some important matters. Awesome sermon!
