Church of the Word

Church of the Word

For over 10 years Church of the Word has preached, taught, witnessed to, served and loved others in the Saint Louis area.

​Our name “Church of the Word” rightly emphasizes the importance we place on the inspired, perfect Word of God. We believe, teach and live that God’s word is “profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16).

As sinners saved by grace alone, we seek to obey our Lord Jesus to make disciples of the nations and teach everything Jesus taught in God’s word.

Come visit us this Sunday morning at 10:30am for a time of worship, fellowship and growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!

  • @stevenbenner6826

    Jealous is a good attribute. A husband is right to be jealous of the love of his wife. For a husband to be okay with his wife loving another man would not be a good quality. Envy is altogether different. Envy is to wrongly want something that’s not yours. It’s wrong for a man to envy another man’s wife. Envy and jealously are often confused in our vernacular but they are quite different. God would not be a good God if he didn’t care whether his children worshiped him or someone or something else. For this reason he is jealous.

    I say every time when people complain about suffering and such, “we have choice, free will. A helicopter parent does not help their child grow, they cripple them for life. God gave us both dominion and free will, with that comes the responsibility of living with the ramifications and repercussions of our choices, be they well-informed or woefully ignorant it does not really matter. Choices were made, we’ve poisoned both our world and ourselves for centuries. We live now with the consequences, the suffering we introduced into the world has merely grown alongside humanity, as we advance so does it. We perpetuate suffering through our choices and wonder why God doesn’t swoop down and make it all better, or why He would ever allow these horrible things in the first place. God can do anything, that includes bearing the weight of sitting by and letting His children make their choices, make their mistakes, skin their knees and bloody their noses; and having those same children curse Him for it all happening and question Him incessantly. In direct spite of the fact that these children get absolutely up in arms if you try to tell them what to do or guide them. They’re willing to kill for their freedom and right to choose how they live….and yet they cry out why and curse and question and doubt and demean and insult and blaspheme….what do we children want from our Father? Do we want to be free to find our way or do we want it done for us?” I’m grateful for my freedom of choice and the power I have to live as I choose. I would not want that trad upon in the name of appeasing me, I don’t want to be appeased and I never asked for life to be easy when I decided to live it. I just want to live as best I can and I believe I can do that through following the Father and doing all I can to reflect His glory.

    I hate hate HATE this way of pastor’s talking to people. This is why people leave church. I know so many Christian’s who have run their lives into the ground for the Lord, who have changed everything about themselves to “Prove” to God that they are worthy of his love, and they still get this shit thrown at them. Gods love is not something you have to “Prove” worthiness for, and his salvation is not something you have to “Prove” worthiness for either. If you accept him into your heart, you are already bathed in his blood. He forgives. Saying anything else promotes this idea that God is a toxic father.

    The problem with American Christianity - Yes. It is a distinct brand of the religion - is that it is an all or nothing proposition: One needs to submit oneself to God as a King over your life. The problem with this idea is that it's not true. What you are submitting yourself to is another person's variation on basic Christian concepts. What you are accepting is the argument that YOU, on your own, without any help from them, cannot have a relationship with God. That has to be a lie. Not only does the idea severely limit God's power to have a relationship outside of their interpretation of the Bible, but it is an opinion based on no actual knowledge of who God is or what He is capable of doing. This is why they worship the Book over the God: Because the Book allows them to invent ideologies that suit the overlords more than the masses, and these people want to be overlords. So, what if you don't have to grovel and bow and sing hymns? What if it's enough to be the kind of person who 'turns the other cheek' and 'loves their neighbour'? What if it isn't required that you have a social or a political opinion? What if it's enough to be good and kind and decent, if only because your 'Saviour' asked you to be? Isn't that easier and more sensible than the wildly panicked faith of the overly complicated and puritanical Americans? 👀

    You definitely DO NOT need a “priest” to come to God, the Bible talks about the Roman Catholic Church in the book of revelations and that they can be identified with their purple and scarlet colors. God command us to “come out of her” for they are evil and their ways are NOT Gods ways. Read the Bible dude.

    God has always been in the business of salvation. All that ever lived and were saved. were saved by faith, BY HIS GRACE. From, Adam to the last man that would ever believe. No man has ever accomplished the perfection and sinlessness of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. WE HAVE ALL FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. WE ARE LIVING IN THE DAY OF SALVATION, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEART. TODAY IS YOUR OPPORTUNITY TO RECEIVE THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. MY FRIEND, IF YOU ARE A GOOD PERSON, YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE A RELIGIOUS PERSON, YOU ARE NOT RELIGIOUS ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE A FAITHFUL PERSON, YOU ARE NOT FAITHFUL ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE A DEDICATED PERSON, YOU ARE NOT DEDICATED ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE A COMMITTED PERSON, YOU ARE NOT COMMITTED ENOUGH. IF YOU STOP SINNING, YOU HAVEN'T STOP SINNING ENOUGH. IF YOU ARE RIGHTEOUS MAN, YOU ARE NOT RIGHTEOUS ENOUGH. DO I HAVE TO CONTINUE? YOU ALSO HAVE FALLEN SHORT, AND ARE IN NEED OF A SAVIOR. THE JEWS THAT WERE BLIND CRUCIFIED HIM, THE JEWS THAT COULD SEE WORSHIP HIM, EVERY RELIGION ON EARTH HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH HIM RATHER THEY ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. JESUS HIMSELF, ASKED THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION EVER. WHOM DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? HE DID ALL THE THINGS THAT ONLY GOD CAN DO, AND HE DID THEM IN THE FLESH. HE SAID IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME BELIEVE THE WORKS THAT I DO. I BELIEVE IN JESUS THE SON OF GOD WHO IS GOD HIMSELF IN THE FLESH. THE TRIUNE GOD OF ISREAL, (THE TRINITY) THE GOD OF ABRAHAM ISSAC AND JACOB. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, WITHOUT THE RESURRECTION OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST THERE IS NO HOPE OF BEING RESURRECTED. THERE IS NO HOPE OF ANY RESURRECTION, APART FROM JESUS. King James Bible Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: MY FRIEND THIS IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR ETERNAL LIFE. 29The jailer called for lights, rushed in and fell trembling before Paul and Silas. 30He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31(They replied, “(BELIEVE) IN THE LORD JESUS, AND YOU WILL BE SAVED) you and your household.” 32Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house. 33At that hour of the night the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized. 34The jailer brought them into his house and set a meal before them; HE WAS FILLED WITH JOY BECAUSE HE HAD COME TO( BELIEVE ) IN GOD -he and his whole household. IN JOHN 6 IT SAYS. 28Then they asked him, “What must we do to be doing the works of God ” 29JESUS ANSWERED, “THE WORK OF GOD IS THIS: TO BELIEVE IN THE ONE HE HAS SENT.” JESUS IS THE ONE GOD HAS SENT. JESUS IS THE SAVIOR, THE MESSIAH, THAT THE JEWS WAITED FOR BUT DIDN'T RECOGNIZE HIM WHEN HE CAME. New King James Version and level you, and your children within you, to the ground; and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, BECAUSE YOU DID NOT (KNOW) THE TIME OF YOUR VISITATION.” King James Bible He came unto his own, and his own received him not. AT THIS MOMENT THE JEWS AND MUSLIMS ARE WORKING ON THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH, BECAUSE TRUE RIGHTEOUSNESS COMES BY FAITH. BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS AND YOU WILL BE SAVED. New International Version Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life. THE BIBLE CLEARLY SAYS. ( THAT IF RIGHTEOUSNESS CAME BY THE LAW GOD WOULD HAVE GAVE US A LAW WHEREBY WE COULD GET SAVED BY. ) New International Version galatians 3;21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! (FOR IF A LAW HAD BEEN GIVEN THAT COULD IMPART LIFE, THEN RIGHTEOUSNESS WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE COME BY THE LAW. This verse clearly say that God never gave us a law, that could save us if we keep it, and that there is no law that was given for us to be saved by. So if we are not saved by the law then how are we saved? Answer by grace through faith in Jesus. Everyone trying to be good enough to be saved is delusional, Jesus is the only way to receive salvation. After you have believe the gospel and are saved, then you can live as godly as you want but not to get saved, but because you are saved. New International Version I do not set aside the grace of God, (FOR IF RIGHTEOUSNESS COULD BE GAINED THROUGH THE LAW, ) CHRIST DIED FOR NOTHING!” WELL YOU ONLY HAVE ONE CHOICE. BELIEVE, IN JESUS CHRIST, BELIEVE IN THE DEATH BURRIAL AND RESURRECTION, AND BE SAVED. WHEN YOU ARE SAVED, GOD EQUIPS YOU TO LIVE A GODLY LIFE. YOU WILL BEAR FRIUT.

    Why does God the Father call Jesus GOD. New International Version But about the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. Berean Standard Bible And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. King James Bible I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, (THE Almighty) King James Bible (I am he that liveth, and was dead;) and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. King James Bible Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. King James Bible He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. King James Bible And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. JESUS IS THE ALMIGHTY. ALL THE PROPHECIES EVER SINCE THE BOOK OF GENESIS HAVE BEEN FULFILLED. The bible says that the word became a man. (FLESH) New International Version Therefore, when Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, (but a body you prepared for me;) In other words before Jesus took on human nature, ( flesh). What was he? John 1:14 = GOD became man. HE WAS GOD, ONE MEMBER OF THE TRIUNE GODHEAD. BECAUSE GOD EXISTS IN 3 FATHER, SON, AND HOLYSPIRIT. So before Jesus took on flesh HE was one with THE FATHER. Sharing the glory with THE FATHER , SELF EXISTING WITH THE FATHER IN TOTAL HARMONY, AND IN PERFECT UNION. THE bible says THE WORD took on the form of a servant . New International Version philippians 2:7 rather, HE made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. In order to take on the role of a servant, HE could not have been a servant. JESUS was not a servant until HE took On flesh, HE existed before HE took on flesh, but he wasn't a servant.HE IS God just Like the FATHER and just like the HOLYSPIRIT JESUS said if you don't believe me, believe the works the miracles THAT I DONE. New International Version john 10:38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the FATHER is in me, and I in the FATHER.” It is very clear that Jesus was doing the things, That only God can do. If doing the things that only God can do Is not good enough for someone to believe, they must be blind. What more can you possibly want HE lived out a life greater than anything written can explain. He lived a sinless and perfect life. New International Version 2 corinthians 5:21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. No one on earth has ever done the works that he has done. He done it all ! NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER DONE ANYTHING CLOSE TO WHAT HE HAS DONE. HE LIVED THE LIFE THAT ONLY GOD COULD LIVE. HE DONE THE THINGS THAT ONLY GOD CAN DO. HE FORGIVES SINS. HE GIVES LIFE. HE IS THE SAVIOR. HE GAVE SIGHT TO THE BLIND. HE HEALED THE SICK HE WALKED ON WATER. HE CALMED THE STORM. HE CHANGED PEOPLE FROM THE INSIDE. HE SHINED LIGHT INTO THE DARKNESS. HE RAISED THE DEAD, HE RAISED HIMSELF FROM THE GRAVE, CONQUERING DEATH. HE SAID ALL THAT BELONGS TO THE FATHER IS MINE. WHO CAN MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT. THE LIST GOES ON. HE SAID IN JOHN 8:24 King James Bible I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I AM HE, ye shall die in your sins.
