Christ is the life. Church is the living.

Welcome to the church in Toledo, an organic and vital body of believers consecrated unto Him, living out His eternal purpose on this earth day by day, moment by moment. 

WHO WE ARE

In every generation, there have been those who, in answering the Lord’s specific and intimate calling, have stood firm as a testimony for Him. In this era, the testimony is not that of individual spiritual men, but of the corporate expression and outlived realization of Christ through His church. We are grateful to be those ones to whom He has revealed His eternal plan and His move on the earth in this age. As the world changes rapidly, we find ourselves looking more deeply unto our precious Lord, the source of all administration, to rejoice and prepare together with all the saints for His coming.

LITERATURE

“Each one has”

What then, brothers? Whenever you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up. (1 Cor. 14:26) As believers, we know how...

A carol to my King

During the last Lord’s Table, we sang a popular hymn that many believers are familiar with: “There is sunshine in my soul today.” Some might even call it a “children’s service” song. Indeed, children can sing it in an...

What makes you human?

Do you know what makes you human? It’s not just that we are smarter or more advanced than other creatures. It’s that we have the capacity to sense something beyond the physical world around us — a keen sense...

Citizens of a heavenly kingdom

As believers, we are citizens of the most powerful kingdom on the earth. When we first believed, we received the Holy Spirit as a pledge of our inheritance through faith (Eph. 1:13-14). All our old ties were broken away,...

“Here, there is a realm, and this realm has never been individual. When we come together, we move like an army. Whatever we do, it’s done completely, efficiently. Everyone’s cooperation is unbelievably precise. You won’t find this kind of unity in any company or religious organization. This is because we are not only leading each one’s heart, but also each one’s life. We are same-souled because we share the same Spirit. That’s just the way the church is produced.”

JOURNAL

“And they continued steadfastly in the teaching and the fellowship of the apostles, in the breaking of bread and the prayers. And fear was upon every soul; and many wonders and signs took place through the apostles. And all those who believed were together and had all things common; And they sold their properties and possessions and divided them to all, as anyone had need. And day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart, Praising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added together day by day those who were being saved.”

My “first communion”

Like many people who grew up in Catholic school, I remember my first communion. I recall taking classes to learn about the Eucharist, the fear of going in to make my first confession to the priest behind the confessional...

Resolution in the new year

New Year's Day brings most people to a point of introspection — reflecting on what we’ve learned, how we've disappointed ourselves or others, the relationships we’ve lost or gained, and all sorts of resolutions for change. Yet, like the...

From a thick cloud to a heaven of clearness

When we are buried in our daily routines, handling one issue after another, our vision often becomes blurry to the Lord. We are hemmed in by the details of improving things and getting better, fighting for ourselves. But recently...
