Ephesians 3:10 tells us that God displays his manifold wisdom to the universe through the church. Our local churches often don't look like a display of God's wisdom. Why is that? How can we more closely display God's designs for our local churches? In this talk, we'll consider what a local church is like -- and what we, as pastors and members, can do to help build a healthy local church.
