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!
If God created everything, and is in control of everything, then His will is always going to be done, so why pray to God (3-22-26)
By: John Mitchell How true, and how false, is the title to this spiritual article. It is true that God did create everything. “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things…
Conviction (3-15-26)

Sometimes this is possible because the words sharing the different meanings contain in its composition a root word deriving from an archaic language where the principal concept applies to every meaning. The…
Masters of Mediocrity (3-8-26)
By: Obed Pineda Mediocre (adj.): moderate to inferior in quality; ordinary (The American Heritage Dictionary). In times of turmoil and uncertainty it is highly likely that the query that permeates our thoughts is “Why?” Our mind’s eye rushes through countless data stored in our memory bank attempting to make sense…
The Love of Traditions (2-22-26)
By: Orean Brown Tradition is basically what has been handed down for the next generation to believe and practice. There is nothing wrong with that. Teachings and practices are meant to be passed down. Indeed, tradition is necessary and unavoidable, and no one is without traditions of some kind (including…
Sacrificial Giving (2-15-26)
By: Zachary Teasley Sacrifice- is the act of giving up or losing something of value for the sake of something else, Merriam-Webster Dictionary. W.E. Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament words define sacrifice as the act of offering. We cannot find a greater example of sacrifice then which was shown…
A Necessary Inconvenience (2-8-26)
By: Obed Pineda There she was, waiting in the security check line at the airport, feeling the levels of her patience being siphoned by the snail’s pace movement of the line. She had arrived at the airport around four-thirty in the morning and had spent approximately twenty minutes waiting in…
The Seven Mile Trek (2-1-26)
By: Obed Pineda When studying Scripture it is vital to keep in mind the purpose for which one studies it. The apostle to the Gentiles bowed before the Almighty requesting on behalf of the Colossians “that you may be filled with the knowledge of His willin all wisdom and spiritual…
The Two Roads of our Life (1-18-26)
By: John Mitchell There is a Robert Frost poem titled, “The Road Not Taken”. The last sentence of the poem is, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.” Much more importantly, through the scriptures in the…
The Other Thief (1-11-26)
By: Obed Pineda Regret is arguably one of the worst (if not the worst) feeling anyone can experience. The realization that reveals the once in a lifetime opportunity that we just rejected because our judgment was compromised, begins to torment us with a simple two letter word; “if.” This word…
Securing Our Foundation (1-4-26)
By: Obed Pineda Foundation is defined as “an underlying base or support, especially: the whole masonry substructure of a building” (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary). Keeping this in mind, the Bible states: “In the LORD I put my trust; how can you say to my soul, ‘Flee as a bird to your…
