A Healthy Church Glorifies God (Ephesians 1) [Jay Thomas]
• Jay Thomas • Series: Meaningful Membership
At the end of the day, what is a church ultimately for? Fill up the spiritual tank once a week? A place to get medicine for personal hurt or soul wounds? A one-stop-shop for learning and experiences that lead me closer to Jesus with excellent programs and production? A place of easy entry for non-Christians or young Christians who need the basics of faith? OK, you sense the cheekiness, but I admit there is some truth in those descriptions but all of them are also incomplete and not founded on the most important things. For this final Sunday of our Meaningful Membership series, we will look at Ephesian 1 to take in what the church is for - ultimately to behold the infinitely vast treasure of God's grace to us through Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit and to treasure that in all of life.
