Annual Christmas Concert

This Sunday we will be diving deeper into our look at the Church and talk about one of the primary purposes it serves in the life of believers. God places us as believers in the church so that we can grow up into maturity in Christ. Ephesians 4:10-16 tells us how God has designed the church to be an incubator for Christian growth. God has given the good gift of leadership to the church to help train the church to do ministry together. Under the authority of Christ the church leadership and members work to help one another grow in Christ. We also see in this passage that the members grow in their understanding of doctrine, how they are gifted to serve, and in love for God and man. Take a few minutes today to read through these verses and think about how the church has been a place for you to grow in Christ. Being a part of a local church is an indispensable part of God’s plan to continue to transform your life and heart into the image of Christ.

From Series: "2025 - The Church"

The Church is God’s best plan to declare the truth of the Gospel to the whole world so that salvation can be found in Christ. It is easy today to misunderstand the purpose of the Church, its mission, and our place it in, but it has been essential to God’s plan to advance his kingdom on Earth from the beginning. For six weeks we encourage you to join us as we look at and clarify what the Bible has to say about the church and how believers are called to participate in it.
