The church has been chosen by God the Father, purchased by Christ the Son, and empowered by the Holy Spirit. The church is a sacred family that should be cherished and recognized as “dear” by all who call her home. But referring to something as “dear” is not all that common in our culture...especially, when thinking about the church.
The goal of this sermon (and the next few weeks) is to help all of us rediscover and reawaken our love for the church. If you’re struggling to value the church or see the beauty in it, these next few weeks are for you.
