What is the Church?

Preacher: Steve Lombardo

Series:Rediscover Church

Detail:

ἐκκλησίᾳ

1.  The Church is not a place, it is a people.

Definition: “A church is a group of Christians who assemble as an earthly embassy of Christ’s heavenly kingdom to proclaim the good news and commands of Christ the King; to affirm one another as his citizens through the ordinances (Lord’s Supper and Baptism); and to display God’s own holiness and love through a unified and diverse people in all the world, following the teaching and example of elders.” — Jonathan Leeman and Collin Hansen, Rediscover Church: Why the Body of Christ is Essential,
p. 124.

2.  The Church is not pointless, it has a purpose.

3.  The Church does not pander, it proclaims a person.
