Can you really “love Jesus, but not the church?” This week we explore the doctrine of the Church—not just as a building or a weekly event, but as the living, gathered body of Christ. We confront the growing trend of being “spiritual but not religious,” and respond to the common claim: “I love Jesus, but not the Church.”
With clarity and compassion, this sermon dives into Scripture to show that the Church is Christ’s Body, His Bride, and our spiritual family. It is global and eternal, yet expressed in local congregations where believers worship, grow, serve, and are shaped together. We also examine the biblical structure of the Church, focusing on the God-given roles of elders and deacons, and the importance of belonging to a local community.
