“WE EXIST TO PROCLAIM THE REIGN OF JESUS CHRIST OVER ALL THINGS; GLORIFYING AND ENJOYING GOD, NOW AND FOREVER!”

3 – The Church: Empowered By the Knowledge of God and the Spirit of Christ, Its Head!

To God Be Glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus

As the “called-out assembly,” the CHURCH is a unique gathering of people with a mission from God Himself … a mission that no one else can or will accomplish … a mission to make Him known, to proclaim the Gospel of His Son Jesus Christ to all nations, to make disciples, to glorify our Father in heaven by living for our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ by the power of His Spirit within us!!!! Living life without true knowledge of God leaves people struggling to find purpose, struggling to accept that God’s ways are not our ways, struggling to live by faith, trusting our Father in heaven to work ALL things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to HIS purpose! The prophet Hosea wrote God’s Word to His people long saying, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge!” (Hosea 4:6). They had rejected God’s Word, therefore, God was rejecting them! As those chosen by God to tell others about Him today, the true Church must always seek wisdom through the knowledge of God revealed in His Word. Knowledge for the sake of knowledge is not the goal, but knowledge for the sake of knowing the truth that transforms us from self-centered individuals to a Christ-centered Body enables us to fulfill our mission. Jesus, our King, is on His throne! He is at work in us for His glory! Let US be about our Father’s business!!!
