Stop Calling Your Bible Study a Church
Manage episode 516113174 series 3692045
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:
- Which of the seven marks of a church do you see most clearly in your current church experience? What about least clearly?
- How can you shift from a casual view of church attendance to making it a life-giving rhythm in your family?
- In what ways does belonging to a local body of Christ strengthen your faith beyond what a friend group or Bible study can provide?
