Church as Mother
Illustration★★★★Paul calls Jerusalem, which is above, the mother of us all. This refers to the Christian Church. Just like a mom provides comfort, food, and care, God wants His church to do these things for people.
Arruda, Gabriel, “Mother of us All” (AudioVerse teaching 40471).
The point
The sermon explains how Paul's metaphor of 'Jerusalem above' symbolizes the nurturing role of the church in place of a mother.
