1 Corinthians 12:11-14 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. (12) For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. (13) For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. (14) For the body does not consist of one member but of many.
Who leads the church? Well, Jesus does. But if the hand isn't willing to listen to the head then things get messy.

John 13:15 For I have given you an example, that you also should do just as I have done to you.When Jesus washed the disciples feet, He wasn't saying that they were "better" than Him or "more valuable" than Him. He was showing us the Biblical leadership is about submission. Submission to God, to lead a group to genuine intimacy. Who leads the church? Powerful business type executives? No, servants operating at the Trinity does with clear roles, and responsibilities. Oh that the Church would return to Biblical leadership!!Sermon Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday September 6th 2015 by Pastor Chris Kopp.

Matthew 18:17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.When we use the term "Church discipline" people tend to get really uncomfortable. But discipline is the root discipleship. We were made for community and that community is most fully understood in the context of a healthy, connected local church.Sermon Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday August 23rd, 2015 by Pastor Chris Kopp.

Mat 16:18b ... on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.You cannot "go to church". You can "go be with the church", "go to the church's building", or "see what a church is like", but you cannot "go to church". That's because the church is a "We" not an "It". The bride of Christ is made up of all the redeemed of all the ages, and is locally expressed in a Gospel centered community, who is making Jesus known. But even with that simple explanation, "Church" has come to mean something different to so many than it did for the early church. In this sermon we'll look at What the church is not, and also what the church is. Delivered to the Galena Bible Church, Sunday August 16th, 2015 by pastor Chris Kopp.
