After a week off for our Missions Conference, we'll be back this week to our study entitled "Gospel Culture". Specifically, what kind of culture, or witness, should be observed by those watching a church fellowship that believes the Gospel--belief to the point that it transforms them into the kind of "Bride" that Christ desires.
We have a few things to finish discussing about what the message of the Gospel is, and what it isn't, and then we will move from the individual to the corporate. For not only does the Bible have much to say to the individual, it also addresses the corporate. In order to be ready for this coming Wednesday, take a look at two passages:
Eph 5:25-32
1. What is the Church supposed to become? What do you suppose this actually looks like in terms of day to day observable behavior?
2. How does Christ feed and care for His Church?
Eph 3:10
1. Is the Church's witness limited to our immediate surroundings? When it looks like it is supposed to--who else is impressed and who gets the glory?
