Why the Church? - The Treasure of Grace

October 09, 2022 | Mike Matousek

These verses describe the core of the Gospel message; what Calvin called "the hinge of the Reformation." They also describe why the church matters so much in our world. It alone bears witness to the most amazing reality in the universe, the rich mercy and grace of God, and He entrusts it to the church to demonstrate to the world.

Series Information

God has created the church, a fellowship of His flawed followers, to carry out his purpose and will in the world. (see Matt. 16:18 and 28:16-20) When we consider the biblical teaching on the church, we realize the church is vitally important for growing in Christ. Like a branch that grows because of its connection to the tree, we thrive when we stay connected.  The book of Ephesians provides rich theological teaching on the value of the church and its importance in our Christian faith and to a full understanding of the Gospel.
