Church In The City, Chicago Il

It is all about Jesus. It is a proclamation of truth that, despite tireless use, will never be a cliché. The church is about Jesus, speaking the Gospel in truth and love. The church does not offer trend, community outreach, or even family; those will not save. Only Jesus Saves; it is a revelation that will never grow old. It is because of Jesus that we have peace and know our future is secure. Although Human Nature is to wander from the Lord, believers are never out of His grasp. He died on the cross and finished the work. Those who call on His name share in his victory over sin, death, and the flesh. The spoils of his great conquest are for the multitude that is saved.

Jesus is building His church (Mt 16), a radiant and glorious church that reflects and releases His goodness, grace and life to the nations (Rev 21). Amazingly, we're called to partner with Him, to work under Him to build this glorious community. His community is distinct (walls) but we don't hind behind those walls or keep others out, rather we spill out into our neighborhoods and nations to invite people to enjoy what we have.

In the Ancient Near East watchmen held a vital role, his words altered the perception and understanding of those who heard. He spoke of what was beyond their line of vision and gave tangible understanding to what was yet to come. Likewise, as spiritual watchmen, the proclamation and exhortation for the people to behold the Lord of Lords and King of Kings gives vision and sight to those who cannot see beyond the “hill.” The watchman is put in place not by virtue of his own merit but by the merit of his proclamation; Jesus is Lord. He is placed at his post with overwhelming expectation of what is yet to come. His very presence speaking to the anticipation that something is coming. Church in the City, called to be a watchmen in the city of Chicago stands in the gap bringing heaven into view of earth and pointing earth to heaven.
