What is the purpose of the church? Most of us would probably answer that the church’s purpose is to evangelize the world... to make Jesus known outside the church. But Jesus desires for His church to have an inward focus as well – the collective maturity of each member. We serve one another so that together we are... “... growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of His body, the church.” Ephesians 4:15 (NLT) By God’s design, we are supposed to be different today from how we were this time last year. Likewise, a year from now, we ought to be more mature spiritually than we are now. To accomplish this, God has placed us in relationships with one another and invited us to move toward one another as both needy and needed people.
