The Church Purposed By God


The Church Purposed By God
Jerry C. Brewer: Existing from eternity, the kingdom was purposed and promised by God, foretold by the prophets, prepared by John the Baptist, and perfected by Jesus Christ.

The Church Promised And Prophesied
"Truly, the church of which Jesus is head and for which He shed His innocent blood is the fulfillment of Old Testament promises and prophecies... its doors are open to all who will enter into it through obedience to Christ's Gospel." — Preston Silcox

The Church Prepared
Eastern monarchs always sent heralds before them to clear obstacles, make bridges over valleys and level hills. So it was with John as the one who prepared the way for Christ. This study by Gary Colley.

The Church Perfected
Roelf L. Ruffner preaches the glad news that 'The church which our Lord "purchased with his own blood" (Acts 20:28) in its perfection is available today.'

The Worship Of The Church
Ron Cosby notes, "As faithful followers of the New Testament, the first day of the week will find us breaking bread and giving."
