The Church and the Communion of Saints

In this sermon, we look at Ephesians 2:19-22 and the Heidelberg Catechism (Questions 54-55), exploring how the Body of Christ is a living testimony to God’s miracle: forming the church and uniting believers as the communion of saints.

This message draws out:

• How every believer—young or old, from every walk of life—is a living stone, built into God’s true household.

• The meaning of “the holy catholic church” and Christian unity rooted in faith, not mere common interests.

• The historic background of the Apostles’ Creed and what it confesses about the church.

• Practical implications for fellowship, service, global perspective, and personal responsibility within the church.
