Josiah starts examine the role of the Church by looking at the ways God describes the Church in the Scriptures. In this sermon we looked at four word pictures that the Scriptures use to describe the Church: God's chosen people, the bride of Christ, the temple of God, and the family of God.

In this sermon. Josiah reviews the strengths of reformed churches and the strengths of charismatic churches, and then he examines four areas that a church will do even better in if it is both reformed and charismatic than it would if it were only reformed or only charismatic.

Wrapping up the section "The Strengths of Charismatic Churches," Josiah emphasizes the importance of having a culture of regular worship, regular prayer, and confident expectation that God will do great things.
