Greetings!
We’re coming toward the conclusion of our series on the church. In the past weeks I’ve proposed a definition of the church based on taking the whole of the Bible into consideration: The Church is

• The people of God (who are we?)
• On the mission of God (what are we doing?)
• Becoming the image of God in Christ (where are we going?)
• Through the power of the Holy Spirit (how do we do it?)

I’ve purposefully left off a final point until this week, that Church is the Glory of God. Paul makes the bold statement that we are ourselves not just reflecting God’s glory, but as we do so, are being transformed into God’s glory, which is promised to fill the whole earth.

Rev. Dr. Gregory Wagenfuhr
