The One the whole Body belongs to
Every congregation on this page, whatever its name or tradition, exists for one reason: a Person. The living Christ is not an argument to be won but someone to be met, and he still draws near to everyone who comes to him with an open heart. Long ago he told a discouraged worker in a hard city, “I have much people in this city” (Acts 18:10). He says it still. Read his own words and see.
