Preaching/Blogging Experiment part VII: The One Church of Jesus Christ

...We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins...

When we say that we believe in one “catholic” church, we mean to say that it is universal. Since the time of the Apostles, the church has spread from a tiny area in the Middle East to the entire world. We are part of this universal body of Christ that takes so many wonderfully different shapes all over the world. As you ponder that think about…
What do you think it is that all churches are called to as parts of Christ’s body? What is special about our church? What special ministry are we called to?

Ephesians 1:17-23 1st Corinthians 3:1-11 1st Peter 2:1-11
