What is a Church?

Passage: Ephesians 4:1-6

Preacher: Dr. Theon Hill

Series:Rediscover Church

Detail:

1.  The Church is a Gospel community of imperfect believers living
     to reflect a perfect God.

2.  The Church is a unified community of diverse believers living to
      reflect a triune God.

3.  The Church is an eternal community of saved believers living to
      glorify an eternal God.

A church is a group of Christians who assemble as an earthly embassy of Christ's heavenly kingdom to proclaim the good news and commands of Christ the King; to affirm one another as his citizens through the ordinances (Lord's Supper and Baptism); and to display God's own holiness and love through a unified and diverse people in all the world, following the teaching and example of elders.
Jonathan Leeman and Collin Hansen, Rediscover Church: Why the Body of Christ is Essential, p. 26.
