We continue our new series, The Church: God’s New Humanity, in Jesus. The local church is far more important to the Christian life than most realize. Often, this is because we haven’t taken the time to ask the simple, but profound, question, “What is Jesus’ church?” This morning we ask, “Who leads the church?” Since Jesus created His church to reflect his own gracious rule, while fulfilling his mission, the issue of who leads is of incredible and lasting importance.
