Of The Church - 01

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical understanding of the church, distinguishing between the invisible universal church composed of all the elect and the visible local church as a functioning body of believers. It emphasizes that Christ is the sole head of the church, rejecting any human authority that exalts itself above Him. The message also highlights the importance of faith, holiness, and sound doctrine for membership in the church, while acknowledging that even the purest churches are subject to error but will continue by God's sustaining power.
