That‘ll Preach | The Church is Your Mom (Why Church Matters Series)

We know God is our Father, but rarely do we consider the church as our mother. But this is the historic position. Cyprian, a third century bishop, once said, "No one can have God as Father who does not have the church as Mother." Now before your Roman Catholic alarms go off, let's remember that John Calvin quoted Cyprian favorably. Mr. Reformer himself believed that the church is God's tool for raising Christians. She nurtures us and brings us to full maturity. Bryan and Paul dive into a new series called Why Church Matters to bring a deeper understanding of how God works through the church to grow healthy Christians.
