A People Living Under Grace Not Law | Terry Virgo | God's Glorious Church by Hope Church Winchester

GLORY AND POWER CONFERENCE || TMC OBUASI || BISHOP EDDIE FABIN || 19TH JUNE 2026

For months and years we have watched the world grow louder, angrier and darker. The temptation for the Church has been to become just as outraged, just as fearful or to simply disappear into the shadows. But God has never answered a dark generation by removing His people from it — He answers darkness by raising up a people who reflect His glory within it. The Holy Spirit was not poured out to make us comfortable in this world but to make us faithful in this world. Today is not the end of a sermon series; it is the commissioning of a Church called to shine.

1. Glorious Church 2. Active Members 3. Divine Assurance The sermon presents a reflection on the Church as Christ's beloved bride, emphasizing her glory, unity, holiness, catholicity, and apostolic foundation, rooted in God's eternal election, Christ's redemptive sacrifice, and the Holy Spirit's work through the Word. It calls believers to embrace their identity as active, living members of this divine community, rejecting cynicism and complacency while affirming the necessity of church membership, mutual service, and spiritual accountability. Drawing from Ephesians, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Psalms, the message underscores that the Church's permanence and security are grounded in God's sovereign grace, assuring believers of their eternal belonging and compelling them to live in joyful, self-giving fellowship. The sermon concludes with a call to reverence the Church, not as a flawed institution, but as the redeemed body of Christ, worthy of love, defense, and unwavering loyalty.

A People Dwelling In Love // God's Glorious Church // Terry Virgo by Hope Church Winchester

John Piper | God fulfills his purpose for the church by his work in the church: He magnifies his grace by beautifying his people.

Union with Christ means union with His people. This blood-bought unity is precious and worthy of protection and care. "... Walk worthy of the calling with which you have been called...," Ephesians 4:1 (LSB). Last Sunday, we saw what Christ has made His church to be: one body with many diverse members, committed to one another. This Lord's Day, we'll turn to Ephesians to see how the body is called to live together. Unity is not created by the church—it's a gift from the Spirit of God, powerful in its source yet fragile in our hands. This oneness runs deeper than shared preferences and affection. We live worthy of our calling as we relate to one another "with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace," Ephesians 4:2-3. These unity-preserving virtues are vital to the church functioning as one body. They ensure that each member's diverse gifts contribute to our maturity in Christ and our witness to the world. By God's design, our unity is not anchored to feelings alone, but to truth, so that Scripture shapes not only what we believe, but how we relate to one another. I hope you'll join us this Sunday as we continue our short series on "God's Glorious Church," and consider "The Life of Christ's People." Get ready: Read and meditate on Ephesians 4:1-16. What is the calling Paul refers to in verse 1? Which commands in verses 2 and 3 are internal? Which are relational? According to verses 13-16, what is the ultimate goal of the church's growth? Where might Christ be calling you to step more fully into your role in the body? Ask yourself: Am I living

The Bride of Christ. God's household. Heaven's embassy on earth. Scripture describes the church these ways and more, declaring that God's people—redeemed and gathered—relate to Him and one another in a unique and vital union. "Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it," 1 Corinthians 12:27 (LSB). The church is not merely the unseen collection of saints throughout history, but also visibly expressed in local churches. By God's design, "church" is not an event to attend, nor a provider of religious services, but a dynamic body of Spirit-led members, each dependent upon and committed to the others. This Lord's Day we'll begin a short series on God's Glorious Church and introduce a new HBC Membership Covenant that spells out and celebrates what God calls us to as members of Christ's body, His church. Please join us this Sunday as we turn to 1 Corinthians 12 and consider "God's Glorious Church: One Body, Many Members." Get ready: Read and meditate on 1 Corinthians 12:12-27. What words or ideas are repeated? How is the relationship between "the body" and its "members" described? What does Paul mean when he says "so also is Christ" (verse 12)? Why is both unity and diversity essential in the church? How does this passage shape your understanding of your responsibility to other church members? Why might it be helpful for a church to clearly express these commitments to one another? [Note: We will return our study of Daniel 7-12 after this short series on the church.]

In this profound teaching, Pastor Olubi Johnson reveals that walking with God requires faith and patience, for it is through these virtues that we inherit the promises and enter into the fullness of Christ. He explains how believers must grow from the initial deposit of the Spirit into maturity until we manifest the Spirit without measure (Jn. 3:34; Eph. 4:13–15). Pastor Olubi brings clarity on the place of prophecy—reminding us that while prophecy is important, we must never be led by it but by the Spirit of God and the Word. True spiritual maturity balances honour for prophecy with discernment, testing all things by the Spirit of Truth. You will also be challenged to reject compromise, resist emotionalism in God's work, and embrace the fearless spirit of Paul, who was willing both to live and to die for the glory of God. Finally, this message points us to the certainty of God's Glorious Church, purified through trials, steadfast in obedience, and victorious over persecution by the power of His presence.

Preached at ART OF SHEPHERDING CONFERENCE. Harare, Zimbabwe 

Pastor Bruce shares on the biblical expectations for the last days church, and our role as the body of Christ.

The sermon emphasizes embracing the biblical identity of God's church, rooted in Jesus Christ and characterized by steadfast growth in doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. It highlights the importance of unity, thanksgiving, and a heart of love, ultimately aiming to see souls saved and lives transformed for God's glory. The message encourages believers to actively participate in the church's mission, recognizing that the Holy Spirit empowers them to reflect Christ's love and witness to the world, and to faithfully observe the ordinances of baptism and communion as a tangible expression of their faith.

God holds the future!Do you wonder what the future holds? The Bible's record of proven correctness, extending over many centuries, validates its claim to predict the future with authority and accuracy.Support the show
