How God Views His Church

**This message was recorded on September 20 2026**

We want to welcome you to our “Back to Church Sunday” service. After a long and busy summer with vacations, family visits, and weekend trips, September offers us a time to reset our priori-ties and settle into the routine of life. For the believer, an important part of that is the regular worship of the Lord. Today we’re going to be looking at the Church and why it deserves a priority position in the believer’s life. We will begin our consideration of “How God Views His Church” in Matthew 16:18.
