Here comes the Bride

November 10, 2024 • Adrian Porter • Ephesians 5:25–27, Revelation 19:7–9, Colossians 1:13–14, Acts 2:41

Repent, and come back to Jesus. Nearly all Pauls letters are correcting and calling churches to change. Be ready for the day the bridegroom comes (Jesus). 1. the bride is the church - She's Jesus' bride. The old is stripped away and the bride is a pure and spotless bride. 2, She is God's plan to overcome the Kingdom of Darkness. We live in a broken world but God is expanding his kingdom and taking back ground from the enemy. As we are looking at the broken world the answer is the bride - all of us. 3, She's the home for making disciples. Christ holds the whole body together with it's joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it. God calls us into a family... the bride builds that home. What does it look like to be part of the family?
