“C H ___ ___ C H”
Matthew 16:18
 THEME:   You need the Church and the Church needs you!
 INTRODUCTION: 
1. Matthew 16:18:  And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
2. Ephesians 5:25-30:   Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish. In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
 I.     THE PROVERBS 31 WIFE (CHURCH):
v. 10:  An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels. 
v. 13:  She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.
v. 18:  She perceives that her merchandise is profitable. Her lamp does not go out at night.
v. 20:  She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out her hands to the needy.
v. 23:  Her husband is known in the gates when he sits among the elders of the land.
v. 24:  She makes linen garments and sells them; she delivers sashes to the merchant.
vv. 29-30:  “Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”  Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
 II.    DON’T SIMPLY           TO CHURCH, INSTEAD             THE CHURCH:

CONCLUSION:  Ephesians 3:20-21:  Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
WORDS:  be, community, go, give, invite. prayer, serve.
