RAILWAY

Interconnected train cars moving smoothly along tracks together — The church as a unified body with different ministries and congregations working together in harmony, all moving forward as one corporate unit

1 Corinthians 12:12-13Ephesians 4:4-6

A train following a rigid, fixed railway line with no deviation — Institutionalized church structure lacking flexibility; inability to respond to the Holy Spirit's leading due to rigid systems and traditions

Matthew 23:23-24Colossians 2:8

Multiple railway lines extending in different directions from a central hub — Various ministries and congregations within the church body, each with distinct purposes yet connected to the whole

Romans 12:4-81 Corinthians 12:28-30

A train moving along its predetermined route without ability to change course — The fixed direction and predetermined path of a local ministry or church movement, emphasizing commitment to its established mission

Proverbs 22:6Hebrews 6:1

Seeing a railway line that represents the fixed direction of a church or ministry — The church or ministry clinging to old doctrines and old ways, unable to make changes due to fear of the impact that new doctrines will have on the congregation; congregations being firmly set in their ways and resistant to change

Matthew 23:23-24Colossians 2:8
