Upon This Rock I Will Build My Church
After spending a week in Memphis taking a class in church
conflict, it is so good to be back to share God’s word with
you! This morning, we will continue our series about the
church that Jesus told Peter He would build in Matthew 16.
We started in week one by looking at images the Bible uses to describe the
church. We saw the church as a building, a plant or field, and as the bride of
Christ.
In week two, we discovered some of the reasons in the Bible supporting the
claim that the church is important to God. We found that God had a plan for
the church and His people even before creation. (Eph. 1:3-4) We also
learned that He values the church so highly that He gave His Son as the
ultimate sacrifice for our sins. (John 3:16) Finally, we saw that the church is
important to God because we represent Him here on earth and are to imitate
Him and reflect His honor in all that we do. (Eph. 5:1-2)
During week three, we discussed the importance of the church to Christians.
The church is of vital importance to Christians, and we each must make
every effort to be an integral part of it. The daily support and love that can be
found within it is so necessary as we try to withstand the daily attacks of
Satan. The Bible is also very clear about the fact that we each have a
responsibility to other Christians and that accepting our responsibility is a
part of being Christ-like here on earth.
This week we will see the importance of the church to the world. Many
people in the world see no point in the church, but we have important things
to do on earth to further God’s kingdom and to show others the way to Him. I
hope you have enjoyed this series of lessons, and I pray each one has
served in some way to help in our walk with God.
