The Nature and Purpose of the Church

Shai Linne explores the nature and purpose of the local church. This session addresses the vision to unite passion for both foreign missions and the church, noting that those emphasizing one often neglect the other. The teaching centers on how the church represents Jesus' bride and God's promise to build His church. Understanding the church's nature helps believers align their passion for missions with their commitment to the local body of Christ. Apply this by evaluating your own church involvement and how it connects to your evangelistic and missional calling. Scripture: Matthew 16:18; 1 Peter 2:9; Exodus 19 Topics: Church, Local Body, Missions, God's Bride, Purpose
