2. The head and the body. (Ephesians 5:23). 3.A groom who loves his bride. Why I Love The Church

(Eph 5:25-27) "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.“ (John 3:29) "The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom's voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete." Why I Love The Church

II. I Love The Church because I love the people in the church. Simon Peter was imperfect yet: - He was given the keys to the kingdom - He was promised whatever he bound on earth would be bound in heaven. Why I Love The Church

III. I Love The Church because of its positive influence. “...the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” Matthew 16:18 Why I Love The Church
