Topic: The Local Church (Protecting the church)
Text: Act 1:1-11, Gen 28:16-19
KEY POINTS
The Church is Christ’s body in which He feels and acts.
When God sees church He sees the hope of the world
The Great Commission is the only mission of the church, it is the fuel of the church. It involves whatever we do to reach and become a disciple, it’s beyond evangelism.
4 Metaphors are found in the local church
1. The Local Church is the house of God (Psalm 22:1,16:11)

4. The Church is the body of Christ (1 Cor 12:13, Psalms 122:1-3)
