The Purpose of the Church

 “These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his servants.”

‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭20‬:‭8‬ ‭KJV

These came from the clan of giants and were killed by David and his men.  David kept defeating the Philistines, the ancestors of the Palestinians.  David and his men were giant slayers.  Today, in the new covenant, the Church is called to establish the Kingdom of God, not by fighting against people, but bringing God’s Kingdom into their hearts. The believers are to know the exceeding greatness of God’s  power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be Head over all things to the Church.  We are in Christ, therefore, we are above the principalities and powers in the spiritual realm, which have been conquered and defeated by our Lord Jesus Christ through the Cross.  As believers, and as the Church, let’s do what God has purposed for us to do which is to declare the Victory of the Cross.  Amen!
