Building Up the Church

September 14, 2025

Love... Hope... Truth... Community...   Edifying Relationships...  A Shared Purpose...   A Champion of the Gospel...  What exactly defines a Church? 

In this message we look at   3 core qualities of a true church.   We know a church is more than a building;  it is also than a community of people;  and it is more than a collection   of programs and services.   

In this first message of a 10 week study  in the Book of Timothy, Paul gives us a   glimpse of what a true church  will in fact, look like. 

While not a comprehensive definition,  it is a powerful picture of what a church   should be, and how it needs to grow  from the Inside out! 

THE BIG IDEA:  We Need To Build The Church  From The Inside-Out!
