Welcome back to our ongoing study about the Church. To this point, we have talked about the Master of the Church, the Majesty of the Church, the Mystery of the Church, and the Metaphors of the Church. This week, we will be looking at the Mission…the calling…of the Church. A good place to start our…
Welcome back to our continued study on the nature of the church. This evening we will be finishing our study on the Metaphors of the Church…the pictures of the Church that we find in God’s Word. Over the last several weeks we have looked at the metaphor of the Church as a body with Christ…
Welcome again to our continued study on the Church and, over the last few weeks, the Metaphors of the Church. Over the past two weeks, we have had the pleasure and privilege of looking at one of my favorite passages of scripture…Psalm 23. We were able to trace the tremendous care and love the Great…
