The Five Basic Purposes For the Church That Jesus is Building
Jesus said, “I will build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18). He is the builder of the Church and He is building it according to a set pattern and for specific purposes; His pattern and His purposes.
However, often when planting a new work for the Lord or moving an existing work forward we forget that He is the Builder and that He has very specific plans and purposes for His Church. And, as leaders of His Church we often forget, when pastoring, that He is the One building the work and that His purposes for His Church have not changed.
