As we begin our 4-week September series on the Church, we start with the big picture – the Global Church. The readings take us across the spectrum of time, particularly taking into account God’s perspective on why He established His Church. Ownership is a big deal as is the timelessness of His Church. Through multiple languages used to read the Scriptures, and hearing how we are all one body, amidst so many differences, I pray we grow in appreciation for the church-at-large, the Global Church, of which we are all a part.

As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option. We live stream our worship services directly from the home page of Immanuel’s website through YouTube. You can view our worship live streams here: https://immanuelloveland.org/ Below are the Scripture readings if you want to take a look at them.
