The Church

Eph. 3:8~"To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the nations the unsearchable riches of Christ."

Excerpt from The Supplied Life, Bill Freeman-great last name~

"Paul says that he is telling all the nations about these unsearchable riches of Christ. This is how the church happens. This is how the Body takes place on the earth. You do not organize it. You do not name it. You do not set up shop. You do not bring in entertainment. You do not set up programs~nothing like that. That is all a substitute for Christ, and a facade. Instead, you just find people~ordinary people, redeemed people~and gather them together and let the unsearchable riches of Christ flow out. This is the church."
