The Pastoral Associates Episode 88: Rapid Fire Quotes of Common Assumptions Christians Make about Church
What does the Bible actually say about church? In this episode of The Pastoral Associates , we continue our series, Things We Believe That Are Not in the Bible , by tackling some common assumptions Christians make about the church. Does going to church make you a Christian? Can you follow Jesus without being connected to a local church? Is the church a building? Is worship just the music? Is ministry primarily the pastor’s job? And does a growing church automatically mean a healthy church? We also talk about church hurt, consumer Christianity, unity in the midst of disagreement, and the tension between reaching unbelievers and building up believers. Some of these ideas may contain a little truth—but when they become the way we understand the church, we can miss the beautiful picture Scripture gives us of God’s people gathering, worshiping, serving, growing, and going together. Join us as we open Scripture and ask a simple question: What does the Bible actually say about the church? Ephesians 2:8–10 | Hebrews 10:24–25 | Acts 2:42–47 | 1 Corinthians 12:12–27 | Ephesians 4:11–16 | Matthew 28:18–20
