The church is God’s family, and it grows together in brotherly love. But why? What is the church for? Peter says that the church is God’s temple, chosen race, royal priesthood, and holy nation. In this lesson, Dr. Ferguson shows how these images, all drawn from the Old Testament, teach us that God’s purpose for His people is to reflect His glory.
