The Gospel of John indicates clearly that the purpose of the church is to make disciples who lead people to Jesus, learn God’s word, love God's people, and live for God's glory, becoming like Jesus and doing good works. For the next 50 days, we will not only learn content but also apply the purpose God has for us. Be praying that God will do some great and mighty things which we cannot even imagine, for His glory (Eph. 3:20-21).
