About Vegas Drive

The Vegas Drive Church of Christ is a local congregation, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. We are not a part of any denomination. The only identity we desire is to be the church that you read about in the Bible. The one our Lord came to this earth to establish (Matthew 16:18), the church that we all read about in scripture, not a denomination devised and organized by man. We only want to be the church, on a local level, nothing more, nothing less, and nothing else.  We diligently strive to fill our role as “the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15).

The Bible is our only authority as to what we believe, teach, and practice doctrinally (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  We meet together on the first day of every week to partake in the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7), study and teach God’s word (2 Timothy 4:2), sing praises to His name a cappella (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16), petition Him in prayer (1 Timothy 2:1; James 5:13,16) and give back to Him from the financial blessings with which He has blessed us individually (1 Corinthians 16:2)

A full walkthrough of worship services

People can often be hesitant to attend worship services at an unfamiliar church. To help alleviate any apprehensions you may have we would like to explain what you can expect when you visit with us at the Vegas Drive church of Christ. Here you can find an overview of what a Sunday service will look like, the order and an explanation of the biblical basis for all matters.

Whether you are new to the area and looking for a church home, or if it has been a long time since you have attended church at all, we hope your first visit at Vegas Drive Church Of Christ will be a blessing and help to your life.

If you are visiting the Las Vegas area and are in need of a ride to worship, complete the following request form and transportation with one of the brethren will be arranged. 

Absolutely! We celebrate our children at Vegas Drive. We have many children here who regularly participate in worship and praise.  Some of the greatest benefits to children come from seeing their parents worship God and participating in the service together

We have a designated ‘family room’, and you may always use the front entry foyer if you ever need that option.

We always recommend you wear what you would wear, when you go and worship the God of the universe. After all, thats what we are doing! We also glad that you’re joining us and want you to be focused on the service rather than your wardrobe. In the summertime, it’s not uncommon to see people wearing short sleeves. Others prefer to still put on their “Sunday best,” and that’s fine too! 

We want our service to be a blessing to you. We hope you will find in our church a warm family spirit, truth from God’s Word and a home where you can grow in God’s grace. Please do not feel any obligation to participate in the offering as a guest. You may give what you can, if you can, and we hope you do so out of a true desire to help us continue to do the Lord’s work.

Announcements

Before our worship service to the Lord begins, we take some time to welcome all our members and visitors, introduce ourselves, and update members on recent activities that have or will be undertaken by the congregation.  We identify needs any members of the congregation may have, especially those who are physically unable to attend or have ongoing health concerns.  We also take this time to identify opportunities for members to serve one another.  We solicit prayer request from our members and for any members who may be traveling to include safe travels to all our visitors.

Opening Prayer

As commended by Jesus in John 4:23-24 and by the Apostle Paul to the Corinthians in 1 Cor 14:15, we worship the Lord God in Spirit and in Truth (i.e., with all of our heart, mind and soul in full and complete harmony with the Holy Scriptures).  After the announcements, our Worship to the Lord begins with the opening prayer. Prayer is a core element of the Christian’s life…as it was in the life of Jesus. Much is said in the Bible regarding prayer and you can find some of these instances in James 1:5-8Acts 4:24-31Colossians 4:12James 5:16-17Matthew 21:22John 14:13Romans 1:8Colossians 3:17James 1:5-8, Matthew 6, and James 5:13-16. When visiting one of our worship services you will observe that we pray often.

Singing

Since we desire to worship the Lord God in Spirit and in Truth, we follow the pattern of the first century church do not use any musical instruments or clapping when singing praise to the Lord.  The songs we sing to the Lord consists of psalms, hymns and spiritual songs (Ephesians 5:19).  As with our prayers, we sing with the sprit and with the understanding (1 Cor 14:15).  The words used in our songs teach, admonish, and edify each other (Col 3:16Ephesians 5:19).  God has commanded the sincere praise of His people to come from the heart (Colossians 3:16).  Since the first century church of Christ sang a-cappella in the days of the apostles, the Vegas Drive church of Christ sings a cappella.

The Lord's supper

Like the Christians in the first century (Acts 20:7), each Sunday on the first day of every week, you will observe the congregation eating bread and drinking the fruit of the vine in memory of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Matthew 26:26-29). Lifting Christ is when Christians remember Jesus in quietude. We take this time to reflect what His life, death, and resurrection means to us. We empty our mind of worldy thoughts and focus only on His sacrifice.

Jesus and His disciples partook of the Passover supper in accordance with the Law of Moses, which required all leaven (yeast) to be removed from the house this meal was eaten in (Exodus 12:14-15).  We can read in our bibles the elements the Lord Jesus himself used when He instituted the Lords Supper, being unleavened bread and fruit of the vine (Matt 26:26-29Mark 14:22-25Luke 22:19-20).  Since this occurred as part of the Passover meal Jesus and His disciples were eating during the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Matt 26:17-21Mark 14:12-17Luke 22:7-15), we know that the bread eaten by Jesus and His disciples was unleavened bread.  Therefore, we also use unleavened bread for the Lord’s supper.  Likewise, these scriptures tell us what they drank, “the fruit of the vine”, not wine.  Therefore, we also use the fruit of the vine, grape juice, during the Lord’s supper.

The order of remembrance

We are incredibly mindful that not everyone was raised up attending worship servicers. Here we want to expand on the Lord’s supper and offer a bit more explanation of the order we partake of these important emblems and how you can be better equipped to understand all the beauty of our Lord’s command.

The Bread: EXPAND (Prayer & Than Remembrance, Frame of Mind, Focus of thoughts, etc)

The Fruit Of The Vine: EXPAND (Prayer & Than Remembrance, Frame of Mind, Focus of thoughts, etc)

Collection

The Biblical basis for offerings, is it enable the church to serve and do the work of God. In the scripture passage of 1 Corinthians 16:1-4, Paul tells the Corinthian Church to set aside funds collected from their assemblies for those who are destitute but are not members of their fellowship. It is from this passage that early Christians viewed giving as an integral part of their consecration to God. Giving from this motive and spirit is pleasing in God’s sight.As Paul writes in his second letter to the Corinthians 9:7, “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give, not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

Preaching

The early Christians were encouraged to go everywhere telling about Jesus. We continue to do that today and you will find preaching to be an integral part of the worship service. At each worship assembly a sermon will be presented from God’s Word. The goals of such lessons vary. For example, sometimes they are meant to encourage, other times they are specific teaching tools. Often they help motivate us as Christians to live in service to the Master.
