We are an evangelical, Bible-believing, God-centered church that works hard at declaring the greatness of God through our preaching, our ministry and our lives. We want our people to talk naturally about Jesus to others because of the deep love they have for Him in their own hearts.

In fact Psalm 8:3 says that to create the world took the finger work of God, but to save us, Isaiah 63 says it took the right arm of God.

What God Desires for His Church Ecclesiology This week . . . in South Carolina, a Free Will Baptist pastor was charged with kidnapping and raping several women at gunpoint; in Alabama, the Episcopal, United Methodist and Roman Catholic churches have sued the state to block an immigration law; in Texas, Warren Jeffs began his life sentence in East Texas for sexual assault of underage girls in his polygamous Mormon church; in Sacramento, a Catholic priest showed up an hour late for a baptism ceremony, and was so drunk that his speech was unintelligible and he fell over a couple of times. Is it any wonder that people don’t speak well of the church today?  If you invite someone to church--if you say that you go to church the odds are good that the person you’re talking to has been hurt or abused by a church.  Heck, a number of you have been hurt and abused by churches in your past.  Your experience of the church may have left a bitter taste in your mouth.  You’re sitting here thinking that this church is probably as messed up as your old one. I don’t know your past.  I don’t know what churches you’ve been to, or how you’ve been hurt.  We are not free of issues.  I’m sure that we have hurt people unintentionally and ignorantly.  What I’d like to ask of you today is to do one thing for me--just one request for you.  Just for an hour leave your baggage at the door.  Fight to not be cynical.  That’s my request. I’m not going to try to sell you on our church.  In fact, you are welcome to go to another church next week if you need to.  What I want to sell you on is God’s vision for His Church.  I want to give you a biblical foundation of understanding what the Church is to be and do.  When you make a big purchase, you research it to death.  Buying a car is 60+ hours of reading CR, Edmunds, Autotrader, test-driving, dialogue.  The more serious the decision, the more time it takes to study and get a full picture. But many people approach church as, try it for a Sunday and stay or go.  So today, I want to lay a foundation.  I’ll give you the CR report on what God says a good church is so that if you leave next week, or three years from now, or if you stay among us for many years you have a picture of what God wants His Church to be like.  And that’ll let you evaluate us, and enable you to evaluate any church you’re thinking of attending so that you can say--this is a biblical Church, this is a church that God loves. Many churches are not in line with God’s vision for His Church, and we’re not there yet either--we are a work in progress.  So if you would, just for a bit, set aside your baggage, disarm your cynicism, and let’s look together at what God desires for His Church. Now before we start, I need to define “the Church” in some manner.  I want to make sure that you’re all thinking what I’m thinking when I say “Church”.  First, when the Bible says church it always means the people in it.  A building is not a church--the believers who worship there are “the church.”  Our English uses the same word for the people and the building. The Bible speaks about the temple, the synagogue and various houses where churches met.  But when it talks about the church, it is always referring to the people.  So the church is the people, not the building. Second, the Bible refers to the church in different senses--it may talk about the Church visible or invisible, local or universal.  The local church is made up of all those who come together in one place to worship as a church and profess faith in Christ (1 Corinthians 1:2).  “To the church of God which is at Corinth.”  Faith Bible Church is a local church.  Kindred Community Church, where Chris is preaching, is a local church.  Scattered throughout the world are many local churches.

We wrestle with our identity. Who are you? Why are you here? Where did we come from? Those are the things that we’re talking about today.
