We unpack about the difference between a Bible study and a church, emphasizing how the seven marks of a local body of Christ set it apart from small groups or friendships. When we minimize God’s plan for the church, we miss the life-changing work of His people gathered together.

QUESTIONS:

  1. Which of the seven marks of a church do you see most clearly in your current church experience? What about least clearly?
  2. How can you shift from a casual view of church attendance to making it a life-giving rhythm in your family?
  3. In what ways does belonging to a local body of Christ strengthen your faith beyond what a friend group or Bible study can provide?

READ MORE:

  • “I will build my church” in Matthew 16:18
  • Jesus’ prayer for unity in John 17:20–23
  • “Do not neglect meeting together” in Hebrews 10:24–25
  • Spiritual authority and leadership in Hebrews 13:17
  • The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19–20
