What Is the Church?
1 Peter 2:9-10
In this powerful message, we explore the true nature of the church as defined by God, not by our culture. Drawing from 1 Peter 2:9-10, we learn that the church is far more than an event or institution - it's a chosen people, a royal priesthood, God's own possession, and a proclamation of His glory. This identity isn't something we choose, but something God chooses for us at great cost - the life of Jesus Christ. As members of God's church, we're called to embrace this identity fully, reorienting our priorities and lives around it. We're reminded that being part of the church means we're recipients of God's blessings and tasked with the vital mission of mediating His gospel to the world. This message challenges us to reconsider our approach to church, moving beyond mere attendance to fully embodying our role as God's chosen people.
