Teaching: It's Not My Church

In this powerful message about loving the church, we're reminded that the church is not a building, but us - the people of God. The early church, as described in the book of Acts, gathered consistently and often, supporting and encouraging one another. This model challenges us to examine our own commitment to gathering, growing, and living out our faith. Are we consistently and frequently engaging with God's people, or are we merely checking off religious activities? The message emphasizes that true spiritual growth comes from leaning into the tension of our faith journey, allowing God to stretch us beyond our comfort zones. As we embrace this growth, we become living temples, reflecting God's glory to the world around us. This perspective shift invites us to see ourselves as integral parts of God's grand design for the church, calling us to deeper relationships with Him and each other.
