Message #100 - ECCLESIOLOGY - The Doctrine of the New Testament Church (Part 6)
Our message today continues our Systematic Theology Series with a study of Ecclesiology ~ the study of the Doctrine of the New Testament Church.
As we continue to examine the nature of the Church and it’s character we explore more Biblical metaphors that the Bible uses to describe the Church. They creatively reveal to us more about God’s intricate plan and desire for each member’s participation in the Body of Christ.
The Metaphors Examined in Today’s Message Include:
1) The Family of God (review from last week)
2) The Body of Christ (Unity & Diversity / Function)
3) The Temple of God (Living Stones Filled by the Holy Spirit)
4) A Plethora of Others (Branches, A Field, A Flock, to name a few)
Our desire for this broader study of Systematic Theology for Daily Living is to take a practical look at the study of God and various elements of biblical and spiritual truth which are designed to help us all understand God and draw us nearer to Him as our Creator and to Jesus Christ as our Savior.
