Christ and His Kingdom in the world (John 3.3-7; 16.7-13; 1 Cor. 12.3; 2 Thess. 2.13; 1 Cor. 6.19-20; 1 Thess. 5.23; Rom. 8.1-14; Eph. 5.17-21).

The Church is the living body of Christ on earth. He is its head and the source of its life. The Body is composed of those who have received Him as Savior and Lord, whether living or dead, regardless of race, nation, tribe, or people. The Church exists to celebrate the life of God, cultivate personal growth in Christ, care about one another in Christ and com municate Christ to the world (Col. 1.18; Eph. 2.19-22; Eph. 1.20-22; 5.23-24a; Acts 2.41-42; Matt. 16.15-18; Col. 3.21; Rev. 4.11; Eph. 4.11-13; Matt. 28.20; Rom. 12.3-16; 1 Cor. 12.4-12; Acts 1.8; 2.47). Jesus Christ will return to earth to raise the dead, judge the world and establish His glorious Kingdom. This is the hope of the Church and its encouragement for ministry. Those who have been reborn will live with Him forever (Acts 1.10-11; 1 Thess. 4.16-17; John 5.24-29; Matt. 6.10, 13; 16.27-28; Titus 2.13; Eph. 1.18-23; 1 Thess. 4.18; Phil. 3.20-21; John 3.16; 1 John 5.11-13).
