  7. “ … you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which isthe church of the living God” I Tim.3:15 • Household • Children and brothers • Jesus is our elder brother • God is our father • Family

  8. “He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son” Col. 1:13 • Kingdom • We are citizens • Christ is King/Judge • God is King • Authority

  9. “In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit”Eph. 2:20 • Temple/Building • We are living Stones • Christ is the Foundation • God is the Architect • A dwelling place for God

  10. “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ…” I Cor. 12:12 • Body • We are Members • Christ is the Head • God is the source, and supplier • Oneness, support, nurture, mutual responsibility

  11. “Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.” Rom.16:16 • Church • We are the Redeemed • Christ is the Redeemer • Holiness

  12. “And in Antioch the disciples were first called Christians” Acts 11:26 • Christians • We are Christian’s or little Christs • Christ is our leader • We are followers of Christ

  13. “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”Matt. 28:18-20 • Disciples • Christians are Learners, students • Christ is our Teacher • God is the source of authority and knowledge • Students

  15. “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” Eph. 5:22 • Bride • Individuals are part of the Bride • Christ is the Husband/Groom • Relationship

  16. Significance of Metaphors • They are not names for God’s people • To focus on only one or two metaphors is to miss the glory and grandeur of the church • “Church” is not the structure being built across Steele Road • They demonstrate the mutual relationship and responsibility we bear to one another • They all stress “oneness”
