WHO IS THE CHURCH?

“I will build my church, and all the powers of Hell will not conquer it.” —Matthew 16:18

Jesus considers the Church to be the

of the world.

WHY IS THE CHURCH THE HOPE OF THE WORLD:

THE CHURCH’S

IS THE RESURRECTED CHRIST.

“Jesus asked his disciples, ‘Who do people say that the Son of Man is? ‘Well,’ they replied, ‘some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.’” Then He asked them, ‘But who do you say I am?’ Simon Peter answered, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.’ Jesus replied, ‘You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. Now I say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.’” —Matthew 16:13-18

THE CHURCH’S

IS ETERNALLY SOLID.

“All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals, and to prayer.” —Acts 2:42

THE CHURCH’S

INCLUDES EVERYONE.

“So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.” —Ephesians 2:19

“Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” —Romans 10:9

THE CHURCH’S

IS TO REACH A LOST WORLD.

“Healthy people don’t need a doctor, sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners, and need to repent.” —Luke 5:30
