This week we continue our series Why Care About the Church with a message from Pastor Chris Vigil titled “The Bride of Christ.” Rooted in passages such as Ephesians 5:25–32, Matthew 22:37–39, John 3:16, John 10:10, Romans 5:8, and 1 Thessalonians 4:16, this message explores the profound mystery of Christ’s love for His church. Scripture shows that the church is not merely an institution, but His covenant people—redeemed by His sacrifice, united by His Spirit, and prepared as a radiant bride for eternal fellowship with Him. In this message, we examine the covenant love of God, the purification and care He provides, and the hope of Christ’s return, and how understanding this love transforms how we relate to Him and one another.
