Being God's Church

Contributed by Chris Appleby on Apr 21, 2007

based on 11 ratings

| 5,261 views

As God’s Church we gather together to worship God as his people; to remember Jesus’ death on the cross on our behalf; to build one another up; to stir one another up to love and good works; and to encourage one another to persevere to the end.

What does it mean to be God’s Church? That is, God’s people, literally ’called out’ of the world. Why should we meet regularly with other believers in this place? What do we think we’re doing when we gather here Sunday after Sunday? Perhaps you’ve never really stopped to think about those sorts of ...read more

The people who were a part of this church no longer thought of themselves — their own rights and possessions — their whole identity was a group identity. They found their meaning ...read more

How do you feel about your body? Strange question isn’t it? Most of us would rather not think about our bodies and if we do we probably don’t think very complementary things.
