⛪️The Church
Not a building
Not a place centered around morality, ethics, or Christian principles.
The church is not a social club gathered around conservative values.
Any social club can do that.
The church is the body of Christ.
22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,
23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
5 having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
16 For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
17 And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
18 And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.
18 For it is through Him that we both [whether far off or near] now have an introduction (access) by one [Holy] Spirit to the Father [so that we are able to approach Him].
19 Therefore you are no longer outsiders (exiles, migrants, and aliens, excluded from the rights of citizens), but you now share citizenship with the saints (God’s own people, consecrated and set apart for Himself); and you belong to God’s [own] household.
20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.
21 In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord].
22 In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.
We are carriers/containers of the presence of God.
1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you?
2 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all.
3 And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.
5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God,
6 who has made us sufficient to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
We are to be ministers of the new covenant.
Jesus seemed not nice harsh difficult things showing them they're dead heart
Gentiles dogs
Turned tables over
Pluck out eyes
Angry at your brother
Whitewashed tombs
Summit Church is not a building. We are a family of believers who focus on Gods' love for us and allow His love to transform us from the inside out.
We preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ which is the good news of God’s unmerited favor.
We want to show people how good God is.
Lives are being transformed as we point people to Jesus. It’s really that simple.
