β€œJesus reshapes us to be like Him on His mission through the church.”

Ephesians 4:1-16 by Michael Lockstampfor (@miklocks)

SUMMARY

This sermon explores the concept of church as an essential part of the Christian faith. It emphasizes that the church is not merely a building or institution, but a people called by Jesus to grow together and fulfill His mission. Pastor Michael explains that church is both a universal body of all believers (the Church) and local congregations (a church). He stresses that Jesus intentionally designed the church as a relational community where believers are reshaped to be more like Christ and equipped for His mission.
