Recapping The Beauty Of The Church
THE CHURCH IS BEAUTIFUL
We’ve just finished our 6-week sermon series, “The Beauty of the Church.” In this time, we’ve beheld 6 reasons why we should love being and belonging to the local church. Six wonderful sights of her beauty and glory in the pages of scripture which reflect the very beauty and glory of Christ himself. It’s our hope that you’d come away seeing the church the way Jesus sees her. That you’d be freshly encouraged to be the church, serve the church, and labor for the good of the church. That you’d agree with Spurgeon and say, indeed, the church is “the dearest place on earth.”
CATCH UP ON WHAT YOU MISSED
We don’t want you to miss a glimpse of this beauty! If you missed a week or want to listen in again, you can find the links to the sermons we heard below. Take the time to listen in and behold the beauty of the church as:
The Bride of Christ - The church is beautiful because Christ is beautiful.
The Body of Christ - The church is beautiful because she’s a body built by God.
The People of Christ - The church is beautiful because she’s marked by the love of God.
The Kingdom of Christ - The church is beautiful because she’s present expression of the goodness and beauty of God’s reign over God’s people in God’s place.
A Pillar and Buttress of The Truth - The church is beautiful because she’s been entrusted with promoting and protecting God’s very truth.
God’s Rescue Plan for the World - The church is beautiful because her mission is beautiful.
CONTINUE BASKING IN HER BEAUTY
If you haven’t yet, we encourage you to grab a copy of our June Book of the Month, “Why Should We Love The Local Church?” by Dustin Benge. This book will give you a greater appreciation of just how wonderful it is that we get to be and belong to the local church. It will stoke your affections for Christ and his bride.
By God’s grace, would we continue to be the beautiful church he’s made us to be!
