THE CHURCH BEGINS
Jul 14, 2024 • Greg Whiting
In the first message of "The Church" series, titled "The Church Begins," we explore the origins of the church, focusing on its foundation in Jesus Christ and the momentous events at Pentecost. Emphasizing that the church is not a building but the people of God, this sermon unpacks key scriptures to show how the Holy Spirit empowered the early believers to spread the gospel and grow the body of Christ. We also examine the metaphors of the church as the body, the bride of Christ, and a spiritual building, highlighting the church's mission to glorify God through unity and disciple-making.
