When you hear the word Church, what comes to your mind? What  is a church?
Most people when they think of church, think of a building. Is church just a building?
 Church is much more than just a building. We are told in God’s Word that the true Church is the body of Jesus Christ.
We need to understand that the true Church is not a building, an Institution,  or an Organization. God’s  true Church is made up of those that have accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour.

(Eph 1:22 NIV)  And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,

(Eph 1:23 NIV)  which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
You and I, if we have repented and been baptized are the Church that God is using to reach others with this message of Hope and Salvation. We have been called to be the Ambassadors of the Government of God Almighty. 

(2 Cor 5:20 NIV)  We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
How do others see God and his Church? When you think about it, it is through the way we live our life?
My question to you is, “what kind of Church are you”?
