Devoted to God’s Church | Hebrews 10:19-25
Sinclair Ferguson, in his book Devoted to God’s Church, states, “We need to learn to ask, not: ‘How is church life to be fitted into my plans (for myself or my family)?’; but: ‘How do we fold our lives into the life of the church?’”. Ferguson continues, saying, “My family needs the church family for its own growth and health. No single family possesses all the resources it needs to be a truly and fully Christian family.” In this study we consider the importance of the local church for Christian living. We learn that since the church is given right to draw near to God the church is given responsibility to draw near to one another in love, especially in these days.
