What is your place, purpose and role within the church? In answering that question, we first must answer two others: what is the church, and how do I become a part of the church. In today's message we see that we become a part of the church by the initiative of God who through His mighty power has raised Jesus from the dead, and through our faith in Jesus, God's mighty power extends to us in raising us from spiritual death and placing us within the body of Christ.
