What is the Church?

Within Reach

March 11, 2018 • Ronnie Rothe

Main Point: "The church is a gathering of PEOPLE whose identity is Jesus, and who’s purpose is to carry on Jesus’ mission."

Key Verse: "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it." – Matthew 16:18 (NIV)

Challenge Question: "Do you want to go to kirche, or be part of an ekklesia?"

Series Summary: People have a lot of different opinions about what the Church IS and what the Church SHOULD be in the world today. At Relevant, we’ve long-said that Jesus is the hope of the world, and the Church is His agent of hope. But actually bringing REAL hope to our neighbors, our city, and world is a tall order. In this 3-part sermon series, we explore how the Church was originally meant to live and how bringing hope to the world is actually something that is within reach.
