Christian Believer Week 21 - The Church

Lesson 21 - The Body of Christ in the World. The Church is a radically gifted and radically flawed emodiment of Christ even while it is a human institution. It is a means of God's grace though it members are not always grace-filled. It is a work of the Holy Spirit though some members are not born again by the Spirit.  Next week: Lesson 22 - Sacrements   Next week's readings: Genesis 8:20-22; 12:1-9; Exodus 12:1-28; 43-51; Matthew 3; 28:16-20; Mark 14:12-26; John 6:25-59; Acts 8:26-40; 1 Corinthians 10:1-22; 11:17-34  The Nicene Creed
