Purpose of our Church

As elders met on Sunday, after and during a work-out of cleaning flower
gardens at the church yard, to discuss the church planting strategy, a
question was on minds of many what is the purpose of the church plant?
As I grappled with this question preparing for the Board meeting on Monday
I took some time to read the Counsel to Churches, a compilation of Ellen G.
White works regarding the reason we do church. As I shared a few
paragraphs with the Board members I am moved to share over the next
few weeks with all who read our blog and this church bulletin these
insights.
The Church is a Theater in which the power of Gods Grace is to be
displayed before the Universe (1
st
Cor.4:9)! And, in case you are
wondering whats showing get this: There is a great work to be done
in fashioning the character after the divine similitude. The grace of Christ
must mold the entire being, and its triumph will not be complete until
the heavenly universe shall witness habitual tenderness of feeling,
Christlike love, and holy deeds in the deportment of the children of
God. (August 3, 1899 Youth Instructor). And read also this: The
church, endowed with the righteousness of Christ, is His depositary,
in which the riches of His mercy, His grace, and His love, are to
appear in full and final display. Christ looks upon His people in their
purity and perfection, as the reward of His humiliation, and the
supplement of His glory,--Christ, the great Center, from whom radiates all
glory. (Desire of ages, p.680).
The universe looks at the Church to see if the Sacrifice of Jesus
made a difference, if we are being transformed by His Grace, if Holy Spirit
is at work in us. Our purity is Christs reward for all the suffering and
dishonour He endured to set us free, to give us new beginning. Our
Church has no intrinsic glory of its own. We cannot manufacture any
glory to exalt Christ. Our church is simply the vehicle through which
Christ exhibits His Love and His Glory.
In a letter written to the Battle Creek church in 1896 Ellen White
explained why we exist as a church, and it is valid for us today, in
London, Ontario: The church of Christ, enfeebled, defective as she may
appear, is the one object on earth upon which he bestows, in a special
sense, his love and his regard. The church is the theater of His grace,
in which He delights in making experiments of mercy on human
hearts. The Holy Spirit is His representative, and He works to effect
transformations so wonderful that angels look upon them with
astonishment and joy. Heaven is full of rejoicing when the members
of the human family are seen to be full of compassion for one
another, loving one another as Christ has loved them. The church is
God's fortress, his city of refuge, which he holds in a revolted world.
So, why do we exist, why do we come together, a corporate body,
visible church gathering, instead of staying as a small independent
atoms? To show the world that Jesus is alive among us, and the Holy
Spirit makes us loving toward each other, just as Jesus foretold!(John
13:34-35)
