John 8:31 - 36

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”

Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

Lyons Church of Christ

Below is a quick synopsis of what we believe about Christ's kingdom and why we believe it.

The Local Church of Christ.

The Church of Christ has a genuine interest in all of the people in our community. We are sincerely concerned about the welfare of every individual, and we desire that every house be a stable and happy home. We would be glad to be personally acquainted with every family throughout the area.

As a spiritual service to every individual, we seek to make known the will of God as it is revealed through the Holy Scriptures. As mortal humans, we realize that we, like all men, are subject to sin and error, and that only through a knowledge of God's will and obedience to His word can we expect His grace and eternal life.

We are an independent congregation of believers in Jesus Christ, drawn together by a common faith. We have no denominational affiliation, nor are we under the supervision of any earthly institution or organization higher than the local congregation. We esteem Christ as the Head of the Church and the Holy Scriptures as our guide book.

We believe each congregation under its local leadership is free to study, teach, and work as conscience and understanding of the Scriptures direct them. Therefore, we are not claiming to be the only Christians, but we do stress that we are Christians only.

The Church of Christ

The Church of Christ is not an organization founded by men, but rather is an important part of the eternal plan God designed for the Church from before the world. (Eph.1:3 + 11, 3:10 – 11, 1 Pet. 1:20, 2 Tim. 1:9, Tit. 1:2) Therefore, He was able to reveal to mankind through the prophets of old, piecemeal bits of information concerning His great scheme of redemption.

The Church actually came into existence on the Jewish holiday of Pentecost following the ascension of Christ. The record is given to us in Acts 2, that when the gospel was proclaimed, about 3000 were baptized and the Lord added the saved to the church.

Truly, the Church is the product of God's doing. Christ is the head of the Church by God's design. (Eph. 1:17 – 23, 5:23, Col.1:12 – 19) No earthly headquarters or hierarchy of men was ordained by God for the Church, but through the Holy Scriptures He outlined for us the simple pattern of Elders to shepherd the local congregations of which they are a part. (Acts 14:23, 20:28, 1 Tim. 3:1 – 8, Tit. 1:5 – 9, 1 Pet.5:1 – 4)
