The Church Defined

1 Timothy 3:14-16 | JD Summers

In order to function correctly as the church, we need to know what our purpose is. If we have the wrong direction, we risk wasting our lives working on something less than what God has designed for us. The church is God’s family, indicating the intimacy God has shared with us through salvation. The church is God’s dwelling place, his temple where he delights to dwell with us spiritually. And the church is the custodian of God’s truth, the pillar and buttress that must uphold God’s Word in the midst of a world of opposition. Let us embrace God’s good design for us in the church!
