When you think about an unstoppable team your mind might drift to the world of sports and you might think of…The Cubs…or in college football, Alabama, or in the NFL, the New England Patriots, or in this year’s Olympic games, the United States’ women’s gymnastics team. The truly unstoppable team is the church. Jesus said in Matthew 16:18: “I will build My church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it”. The church is a team of people, saved by the power of God, sent to fulfill the purposes of God on the earth. Church is not a building. Church is not a weekly event on Sundays. Church is what we are called to be, together, led by Jesus, to bring the hope and healing power of the gospel to the world around us.
This week, we continue our “We Believe” series by exploring what the Bible says about our role and our part in God’s unstoppable team!
