What Corrupts the Beauty and Utility of the Church

What can damage the beauty and effectiveness of a local church? Ephesians 4 shows that the personal holiness of each believer directly affects the unity, health, and ministry of the entire church family. In What Corrupts the Beauty and Utility of the Church?, this message examines Paul's call to put off the old man, be renewed in the spirit of the mind, and put on the new man. Because believers are members one of another, personal sin and spiritual neglect do not affect only the individual—they can weaken the church's unity and effectiveness, while faithful Christian living helps strengthen the whole body.
