This Sunday we will begin a new series on 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 and is essential to God’s plan to advance his kingdom on Earth. Over the next six weeks we will look at and clarify what the Bible has to say about the church and how we as believers in Jesus are called to participate in it.
This week we will look at what the church is and is called to do at its core in 1 Timothy 3:14-16 and Ephesians 3:7-12. In these passages Paul tells us that the church is meant to be the pillar of truth in the world and it mission is to declare the truth of the Gospel to the world. These affirmations of what the church is at its core will challenge us to believe if the church’s message is ultimate truth for all people. It will also challenge us as those that claim to members of the church to declare the Gospel to those God has put in our lives. Here is the Bottom Line: We as the church are called to stand for and declare the truth of the Gospel to the World.
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.
