Why Do We Need Church?
That’s not just the cry of a tired and frustrated teenager early on a Sunday morning. Increasingly, it is the cry of tired and frustrated Christians of all ages.
We live in an age of radical individualism. We’ve been trained to think of ourselves as autonomous individuals, free to construct our own identities, choose our own communities, and decide for ourselves what is meaningful. And that individualism has deeply affected the way many people think about Christian faith.
God uses the Apostle Paul to describe the Church as a body. A living group of people. A body joined together under one Head. Living together, working together, growing together. And this vision helps shape what we believe about the Church, because Christianity is not merely a philosophy of life that tells us what to believe. Christianity tells us who we belong to.
in Ephesians 4, Paul shows us what that people looks like. The Church is United in Christ, Diverse in gifts from Christ, and growing up in Christ.
Listen to last Sunday, August 30th sermon from Ephesians 4 here:
