First Steps – Episode 6 (Church)

16 October 2019

The church is not primarily an institution—it’s an expression of the family of God. Romans 12.4-8 describes the church as a body which has many different parts. This body needs each part to play its part for the healthy functioning of the whole. In joining God’s family you become part of this body whose primary characteristic is love.
