Q: What is the Purpose of the Church? | Elder Jonathan Moseley

Summary

Elder Jonathan Moseley explains that the true purpose of the church is not to be a perfect social club, a networking opportunity, or to save sinners from hell, but to be the bride of Christ. The church is called to love, honor, and submit to Jesus Christ as its head, reflecting the intimate relationship between a bride and her husband. This purpose is rooted in Scripture, emphasizing the church's role in sanctification and preparation for Christ's return. The sermon highlights the importance of loving Christ through obedience, worship, and service, grounded in gratitude for His sacrifice.
