Five Ships of the Church Church of Jesus Christ

The Bible draws many comparisons between naval ships and the church.  A ship is a form of conveyance over any medium other than land.  We have airships, spaceships as well as sea going vessels.  The church is a ship because its journey is made over spiritual waters and its port of destination is not of this world.  Even our language is seasoned with references to ships.  The suffix, ship is used on many English words to express quality, condition or a state of being.  In this message Bishop Stinnett discusses five important ships of the church, relationships, fellowships, discipleship, worship and stewardship.
