A Beautiful Church

...just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
— Eph. 5:26-27

I love the Church. I want it to be healthy, faithful, and beautiful. But it’s not perfect and never will be. It’s often messy, hard and even hurtful. But it’s God’s church which He uses for His own purposes. It is the bride for which Jesus died. This series of sermons explores what makes a church a messy but beautiful people. Let us learn to submit to the headship of Christ and live out what Jesus, our Groom has done for us.

Please note that two of the sermons in this series were preached by fellow pastors (Rob Wegner and Trevor Williams). They are included here for completeness in listening to the series. Each sermon has the author/preacher indicated under the title of that message.
