Cross City Church - North
August 4, 2024 / Why Church Matters
When a family of faith is aligned with the Word of God, chasing after the call of God to live out the mission of God, staying loyal to the church of God while investing in those that are far from God – that recipe always serves up approval from the heart of God.

Ephesians 2:12-13...
12 remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
Ephesians 2:12-13...

"Together we WORSHIP the living God! Each act of worship points us to the One we BELIEVE in – these acts of WORSHIP point us to the aspects of our faith and belief in Him. Our baptism reminds us of our salvation. Communion reminds us of His sacrifice made for us. We do these things because of our BELIEF in Him. These things are celebrated here inside His church.”
2. LET’S REPLICATE WHAT WE BELONG TO.
Ephesians 2:15-17...
15 that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16 and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near.

John Stott said this...
“I am assuming that we are all committed to the church. We are not only Christian people; we are also church people. We are not only committed to Christ, we are also committed to the body of Christ. At least I hope so…For the church lies at the very center of the eternal purpose of God. It is not a divine afterthought. It is not an accident of history. On the contrary, the church is God’s new community.”

Ephesians 2:19-22...
19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22 In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.
