In episode 18, we are tackling the topic of expectations! What can you expect from your church?
In a world shaped by consumer preferences, it’s easy to treat the Church like another service provider—judging it by comfort, programs, or entertainment. Yet the Church’s true purpose is to deliver Christ through the preaching of the Word and the administration of the Sacraments. Pastors are called to shepherd, not entertain, and members are called to be sheep, not consumers. Though life together in the Church can be messy, Christ is present with forgiveness and grace, forming His people in faith, sending them into their vocations, and uniting them in true fellowship. At its heart, the Church exists not to mirror culture or sell experiences, but to give the crucified and risen Christ for the life of the world.
