The Church
There is a lot of talk about church. However, man's viewpoint of the church is entirely different from God's. For the most part, man associates church with a building and not a group of people selected by God himself. The English word church is a translation of the Greek word Ecclesia. Ecclesia means to be called out John 17:13-20 and II Corinthians 6:17.
Jesus is the founder and sole owner of the church. "And I say unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock, I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it". The birth of the church was in the upper room on the Day of Pentecost, in Jerusalem, time 30 A.D. Read Acts 2:1-4.
The mission of the church is to go into all the world and be a witness for Christ. (Read Matt. 28:19 and Acts 1:8)
The finest hour of the church will be when it is caught up and away (this is called the Rapture.) We must meet Him in the air to marry the Bridegroom someday, any day. (Read I Thes. 4:13-18 and Rev. 22:12) Some will miss this great event. Those who miss the rapture will enter into great tribulation (Read Matt. 24:21-22). But those who are taken away in the rapture, this will be their finest hour.

Volunteer Groups
We have a constant opportunity to feed the hungry in our needy world (see Mark 14:7), and we should do what we can to relieve the suffering of others. The New Testament consistently directs us to focus our resources on fellow believers. “As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers” (Galatians 6:10). Our church family is the priority; we must feed the hungry in our midst.
The only miracle repeated in all four Gospels is the feeding of 5,000—an example of Jesus feeding the hungry. John 6 records Jesus’ teaching of salvation the day after He performed the miracle. The people had been hungry, so He had fed them; however, Jesus teaches that humanity’s greater need is for spiritual food. He explains in verse 27, “Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you.” The crowd then asked Him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” (verse 28). Jesus brought the conversation back to faith: “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent” (verse 29). He then declared Himself to be the Bread of Life (verse 35). He pointed the crowd to Himself, saying that physical food will only satisfy temporarily, but salvation through Him is forever.
Should we be feeding the hungry? Yes, “as it is written, ‘He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever’” (2 Corinthians 9:9; cf. Psalm 112:9). Jesus said that it is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35). We should give people what they need, and as we meet the physical needs we must not ignore the spiritual need for the gospel. “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4; cf. Deuteronomy 8:3).
