I.THE “UNIVERSAL” CHURCH II. THE LOCAL CHURCH Sungai Nibong Gospel Hall (21 July, 2013)

One Head and One Body Two areas where the Local Church should reflect the Universal Church: 1) H E IS THE HEAD of the body, the church… that in all things He might have the pre-eminence.Col. 1:18 …and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. Eph. 1:22f 2) For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: SO ALSO IS C HRIST. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles…and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. For the body is not one member, but many. I Cor. 12:12-14 He is the HEAD of the Church that in ALL things He might have the Pre-eminence.

The Lord’s Prayer for the Local Church, Jn. 17 The Local Church – its Purpose.Jn. 17 Not to be taken OUT of the World. 17:15a To be kept FROM the evil one.17:15b To be IN the World.17:11 Not to be OF the World.17:14, 16 To Go INTO the World.17:18 To be One as God and Christ are ONE.17:21-23 Now, O Father, glorify thou Me with Thine own Self with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was. Jn. 17:5 Father, I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am; that they may behold My glory, which Thou hast given Me: Jn. 17:24 And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one, even as We are one: Jn. 17:22
