The flock. The bride. The body. A lampstand. A family. The church has been described in many ways. The common theme in all these metaphors is that when we belong to the church, we are connected to something greater than ourselves. What exactly is it that we belong to and why? For what purpose? In this series we’ll explore what we can learn about the many facets of the church from Scripture and history. Then we’ll apply what we learn to the specific context of our local church family at Renew.
