INCOMPARABLE THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST
Nothing compares to the gift God gave us through his son. Of all the things God has done for man this is by far the best of all gifts.
Matt.16: 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(1) The greatest cost
Acts 20: 28Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
The shame he went through for us
The pain he suffered for you and i
His own rejected him
Others mock him
His blood formed it
His life framed it
His father crowned it
(2) The antiquity the oldest
Eph.1: 4According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
From the foundation
God has loved us
He has watched over us
We were chosen thousands of years ago
(3) Has the deepest foundation
1st Cor.3: 11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ
The strongest
The unmovable
The longest lasting
A total sure foundation
No man can copy it
The devil can’t touch it
(4) The finest material
Jude 1: 20But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
Best faith God could give
Strongest faiths ever give to man
Prayer the strongest weapon known to man
A living spirit to follow
(5) Its extent the widest
Rev.5: 9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Happy for ever more
Redeemed by the blood
Free to all men
Christ expanded his love to all nations
(6) Its position the loftiest
Eph.2: 6And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
We now sit in heavenly places
All God’s children
The dead live again through Christ
We now have the fulfillment of his love for us
(7) Its builder the wisest
Matt.16: 18And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
Solid from the ground up
The rock of salvation
Block put on the gates of hell
Hell hath no way to get in the church is we hold on to Jesus
Christ is in charge
