GRACE TEMPLE CHURCH

What We Believe

9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. Titus 1:9 (KJV)

Grace Temple Doctrine

A fundamental charge to the church is to instruct.  [18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.] Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV)

There should be no church instruction that is not biblical instruction. The bible clearly defines the doctrine that every church should adhere to. Those who are careful about their souls and the salvation offered by Christ will diligently search the word of God to know the correct direction for holy living. 


16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 

2 Timothy 3:16 (KJV)


We hope you will keep, not an open mind but a biblically-centered mind. If so these truths will certainly speak to you. They are spiritual and are comprehended spiritually.  


(1 Corinthians 2:14) Perhaps the Lord will speak to you and then you will give us an opportunity to discuss our God-ordained doctrine with you. We well know that many today have rejected strong doctrine. (1 Timothy 4:3) 


We also believe that there are many, like you who are on a journey for truth. We pray you find it at Grace Temple. It is a 

"Place Where Effective Grace is Changing LIves"


17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened: that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Sabbath Keeping in Scripture

God, The First Sabbath Keeper 

God was the first Sabbath Keeper, setting the standard for us to follow. 


Sabbath Origin Not In The Ten Commandments

The Sabbath was not originated in the Ten Commandments of the Law of Moses. it was an expectation of God for His people before the commandments were given to Moses. 


Laws Of The Nation 

These moral laws were incorporated into and became part of the national laws given to Israel after they became a nation. Any nation without laws is by definition, anarchy. 


Remember

The true people of God are offended by the lack of desire to remember the creating power of God. We are commanded to remember (don't forget) to keep (not make) this day Holy (separate/different) from every other day. 


Sabbath Was Establish To Be Unending

Sabbath is perpetual, meaning never-ending. We as God-led men and women should certainly question when something ordained of God is so easily dismissed by man. 


It Is A Refresher

We the people of God are in constant warfare as we complete our daily walk with Christ. We are going to be persecuted, just as he was. 


The New Gentile Converts Kept The Sabbath

It is said that this blessed day was only intended for those natural Israelites. However, gentile converts clearly kept the Sabbath. Only pagan worshippers used other days. 


It Remains For Us Today

Even today, unbelief is the cause that keeps us from the Sabbath. Once we have faith, a conviction to holiness, we will never be prevented from the blessing associated with this day of rest.
