HIGH CALLING OF THE CHURCH Daniel 9:3-6, 17-19; Ephesians 2:17-22; Matthew 16:13-19
Every Christian is to grow and serve in a community of believers called the Church (Acts 2:41-47)
The Church is like a Building Ephesians 2:19-22 I. The FOUNDATION of the Church (v20) Christ Jesus – His Person, Work and Teachings, as revealed in Holy Scripture Christ the Cornerstone
II. The MARKS of the Church (v21) Holiness Unity Mission
III. The PURPOSE of the Church (v22) The dwelling place of God by the Holy Spirit The place of God’s glory: the life and witness of God’s people
Let us rise up, with brokenness and holy confidence to be the people of God, reaching out to those who have yet to come home to Him.
