What is your most precious possession? Is it a

family heirloom? A photo book? A piece of jewelry? Something

sentimental? The church has a precious possession. It is a gift

that we have been given. It's the message of God's grace. It's the

message of the Gospel. So far in this series, we have seen that the

head of the church is Jesus. And we've seen that "church" is a

place where we connect with each other, equip each other, and send

each other. This Sunday, we are going to start examining the

characteristices of a healthy church. We will begin with a focus on

the Gospel - the precious possession of the

church.
