Welcome to our Southeast church of Christ website!
We are grateful with you for making time to inquire and learn more about us. As members of the body of our Lord Jesus Christ, our primary goal is to faithfully serve and worship our God in accordance with His word so that all glory may be His through His son (1st Peter 4:11). Understanding that we are epistles of Christ that are known and read by all men, we strive to show that we have been written by the Spirit of the living God (2nd Corinthians 3:2-3).
We believe that the one true God is to be worshiped in spirit and in truth for that is the worship He seeks and approves (John 4:23-24). We offer praises to our God with the fruit of our lips in song without the use of mechanical instruments (Colossians 3:16, Hebrews 13:15). We seek to sing and pray with understanding so that all in attendance may be edified and grow in the grace and the knowledge of our God (1st Corinthians 14:15-17, 2nd Peter 3:17-18). Our prayers are offered in the name of Jesus Christ to the Father so that the Father may be glorified by them(John 14:12-14). Every first day of the week (Sunday) we partake in the Lord's supper in remembrance of Him by eating unleavened bread and drinking fruit of the vine (Matthew 26:26-29, Acts 20:7, 1st Corinthians 11:23-26) and we make a collection for the saints (1st Corinthians 16:1-2, 2nd Corinthians 9:6-8). Also in accordance to His will, we assemble in fellowship and study our God's word together admonishing and exhorting each other to stir up love and good works with the whole truth of our God (Hebrews 10:24-25). We diligently work to present ourselves without shame before our God and preach with the purpose to convince, rebuke, and exhort with God's word His truth (2nd Timothy 2:15, 4:1-2). Finally, we press forward and try with our best effort to be the light of this world trying to shine bright to help lead all those who seek God find and glorify Him (Matthew 5:14-16, Philippians 2:14-16).
Therefore, we hope this will shed some light as to who we are and how we worship in spirit and in truth to be found approved servants of God. All of us here at the Southeast church of Christ invite and encourage you to come worship with us so that God may be always praised!
Three Translations, Two Paths (Part I) (9-27-26)
By: Joel & Lydia Ramirez Recently in the Wednesday Adult class, we were given the homework of looking at Proverbs 12:26 and trying to understand why the King James Version, New King James Version, and New American Standard Bible translate this verse so differently. It is important to understand from…
Tears From a Prophet (9-20-26)
By: Obed Pineda It could be said that having a great memory is a remarkable gift, but like most things in life the validity of this statement depends on how said gift is being used. Some may argue that in certain instances, a short memory can actually serve as a…
The Genesis of Reconciliation (9-13-26)
By: Obed Pineda Reconcile (v.): 1. To reestablish a close relationship between. 2. To settle or resolve (The American Heritage Dictionary, p. 700).

Keeping Your Eyes on the Road Ahead (9-6-26)
By: Joel Ramirez We’ve all heard the driving adage: “It is impossible to drive when you only look at the rearview mirror. There is more windshield than rearview mirror for a reason.” It’s a simple truth with profound spiritual implications. Yes, we need to know what’s behind us. Glancing in…
The Opportunity A Blind Man Saw (8-16-26)
By: Obed Pineda On the day that the prophet Isaiah was commissioned by Jehovah God, his marching orders were “Go, and tell this people: ‘Keep on hearing, but do not understand; keep on seeing, but do not perceive.’ Make the heart of this people dull, and their ears heavy, and…
Compass Men (8-2-26)
By: Obed Pineda During military operations, knowing the terrain the unit is operating on is crucial to successfully carrying out a mission. It must be noted that in the military, the term success is not solely applied to the accomplishment of the mission, but more so of obtaining the goal…
Being A Christian Is Not A Part Time Job (7-26-26)
By: John Mitchell There are some people who believe that if they say the “sinner’s prayer”, they have become a “born again” Christian. Some believe they are “once saved always saved”, and have a guaranteed place in heaven reserved for them. Saying a onetime prayer, to God, on one day…
The Grisly Truth Shrouded by Confusion (7-19-26)
By: Obed Pineda It is written: “He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the just, both of them alike are an abomination to the LORD” (Proverbs 17:15). In the days of Jeremiah, God lamented that His people no longer knew how to feel shame for their abominable acts…
Tower of Refuge (7-12-26)
By: Obed Pineda Do you remember where you would run to and seek shelter as a child when the raging winds and rain menacingly knocked on the windows of your bedroom? Chances are that when the terrifying “boom” of the thunder followed the bright flash of lightning illuminating the obsidian…
The Ant (7-5-26)
By: Tyler Montgomery When you think of an ant, you tend to think of something small, something that can be easily stepped on or squished, and something most people find a pest. In the Bible however, we hear a different side of the ant. In Proverbs Chapter 6, we are…
