Grace Made Visible - Jesus' Bride, The Church

Ephesians 5:25-27Do I have to be a part of a local church if I’m a Christian? There are a tonne of reasons people give to not be involved in a church. The local church today; is irrelevant to society; is full of hypocrites; hurts more than it helps; is not the church we see in the New Testament; is unimportant because I’m part of the universal church…We begin a new sermon series at Redeemer called “Grace Made Visible” exploring what a Church is and what it means for Christians. In this sermon, Ps Anthony starts our series with why the church, and more specifically the local church, is so important to Christ and why it should be to us – Jesus really loves his Bride the church, he really gave himself for her, and Christians are called to really love her too.
