On today’s episode of the Journeywomen podcast, I’m chatting with Susan Hunt about the local church! One of our mutual friends rightly stated that Susan bleeds ecclesiology, or the theology of the church. After talking with her, I couldn’t agree more. She said, “I can barely speak the word ‘church’ without weeping in wonder at the very idea! The Body of Christ, the Bride of Christ, the family of God! The church is the people of God in all times and in all places! We’re those who were chosen in Christ in eternity past! We’re being redeemed, adopted, and sanctified in him! The church is those who are indwelt by God’s Holy Spirit! Think of that! The very Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead! We’re the ones with the potential to make Jesus known! To reflect the glory of God in a dark, broken world! So, the church is the people who have been entrusted with the living Word of the living God.” SUSAN’S RESOURCESThe BibleConsider the historic creeds (like Westminster Confession of Faith and the Heidelberg Catechism)Discover a biblical perspective of our womanhood and God’s calling for us as women in our churchFind a small group of women to dig into the Word with other women SCRIPTURE REFERENCESEphesians 4:111 Peter 2:9Numbers 2:2Acts 2Hebrews 10:22Philippians 3John 17 - Jesus’ prayerPsalm 92 DISCUSSION QUESTIONSWhat is the local church?What is the purpose of the local church?How were you uniquely designed to be a part of the local church?What are some of the joys and hardships of being involved in the local church?How have you been shaped by covenant community?What are you going to do or implement as a result of what you’ve learned this week?
