In today's episode, we embark on an eye-opening study on the local New Testament church and its significant role in the life of a believer. We talk about varied perceptions people have about the church, how the church was founded, and where its authority originates from.
Whether you are a regular church-goer, an infrequent visitor, or a newbie to Christianity, this episode provides a comprehensive view of the church from a biblical perspective. We all have different images that appear in our mind when we hear the word 'church'. To some, it's a beautiful place of worship, to others, it's a divided entity due to numerous denominations. Nevertheless, we agree that there can be a lot of misunderstandings related to the church.
In this discussion, we put the record straight and affirm the relevance of the church in a believer's life. The church was not an invention of man; it was ordained by God himself and therefore holds profound significance. We delve into scriptural teachings about the church, distinguishing between the universal church (the body of all believers) and local churches, and highlight the importance of church membership in the growth of a believer.
If you're questioning the relevance of being a part of a church body, or wondering about church practices like serving, giving, or denominational differences, this episode is a must-listen. We debunk stereotypes about the church and shed light on its purpose, mission, and the role of a believer within it. We trace the founding of the church to Jesus Christ and outline the progression that's recommended – salvation, baptism, then church membership.
We hope that by understanding the church's biblical position, you will recognize its vitality in your Christian life. Remember, the church isn't just a social club or space for worship; it's pivotal to your growth as a Christian. And as followers of Jesus Christ, we must see its importance because all things important to Him, including the church, should be important to us as well.
