WHAT IS THE CHURCH? Due to the lockdown and various regulations that were put in place during this COVID-19 pandemic, our “church" routines have changed. You may have wondered what is the purpose of the Church? What are we supposed to do in Church? How important is unity in the Church? What is the mission of the Church in this pluralistic culture?
Andrew Chang and Barry Martin, LHBC Elders, will be leading a didactic study of the scriptures and looking at these questions as well as other issues during this three-month study. Bring your Bible and be ready for some great group discussions!

Over the course of 4 lessons, we will look at God's love and how to reconcile this with His justice, wrath, and holiness.
What do we mean by God's love? Has our culture distorted its meaning? Does love demand mercy and grace for all?
We will look at key verses and use table discussion questions to help us reason through this topic.
The goal is to strengthen your theology and help you in your evangelism to those around you.
