I Will Build My Church

Series: The Church Jesus is Building 1/29/12 The church is the central focus in the outworking of God’s eternal purpose in the world. The church is the agent of God’s Kingdom, to defeat the works of darkness in the lives of individuals, in communities and the world, and to establish the righteous reign of God. Jesus said it this way:  I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (Matt 16:18). That is what He is doing. That’s where His focus lies. So as we begin our vision series this year, our focus is on the church Christ is building. God’s eternal purpose centers on Christ and His Church. If we want our lives to count for eternity; if we want our lives to make a difference for God; we’ve got to get a hold of God’s vision and purpose for His church and live accordingly. So today we are going to be looking at the church Christ is building.
