God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes
3 Piers: The Centrality of the Scriptures, The Lordship of Christ, and the Glory of God
Romans 15 sets a course of Biblical church unity. In the main verse of the section, we read this, “so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” (Romans 15:6). The churches first purpose, and therefore an essential foundation for the church, is to glorify God. For the church to be able to do this, there must be one accord and one voice.
Biblical unity precedes unified glorification of God. For CHBC to claim that it is essential that we glorify God, means we must be committed to pursuing unity with one another. Unity is not an object or a goal, but an outcome of believers who pursue Christ together. Christians do not pursue unity like they pursue a prize. They pursue Christ who has unified all believers in Himself, and who produces a like-mindedness with Him and the Father.
The Glory of God is fundamental to the existence of the church. There are many ways in which believers individually and corporately glorify God. But God is never glorified when His church is not in one in Christ.
By His Grace and For His Glory,
Pastor Mark
