Lesson Of The Hour

If someone asked you, “What is the purpose of the Church?”, what would you say? How one perceives the purpose of the church affects our behavior? Truthfully, if our faith in Christ, then we will value the church as Christ does? Jesus bought the church with His blood. Jesus promised to build His church. Jesus gave Himself for the church. When the church was established, the church devoted itself to the apostles’ doctrine, the Lord’s Supper, sharing together, and prayers together. Is that the church today? What does the church look like? The church has lost its purpose and the world sees it. The purpose of the church is to make disciples baptizing and teaching them to observe all things that Christ commanded. The purpose of the church is to proclaim the excellencies of God. Observations show that churches that grow are evangelizing. The church must return to the mission field and that means devoting oneself to the apostles’ doctrine, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer.Scripture Reading: Ephesians 3:8
