This afternoon in Taubaté for the Bible study we began a new series, by request, on the New Testament church. The first section deals with the church's essence. Three points will define it, and we covered the first of the three today, which are:
- The church as a project in God's mind.
- The church as the prophecy of the Spirit about new times.
- The church as the people of Christ's kingdom.
We started late today (our time is 4 pm) because of a government entrance exam held at the University of Taubaté right behind us. There was no parking on the street anywhere for blocks around us.
We had 18 in attendance today, a good number for us at Taubaté.
