What Is the Purpose of the Church? — Part 1What exactly did Jesus intend the church to be?Many people have different ideas about the purpose of the church. Some focus on worship, others on outreach, fellowship, or helping people in need. While each of these matters, Scripture gives us a much bigger picture.In this episode of the Disciple Blueprint Podcast, we begin exploring God's design for the church. Jesus did not establish the church simply as a place where people gather each week. He created it to worship God, proclaim the gospel, make disciples, and teach believers to follow Him faithfully.We also discuss the difference between making converts and making disciples. Salvation is the beginning of the Christian journey, not the finish line. Jesus commanded His followers to help believers grow in faith, obedience, and spiritual maturity.Why Jesus is the foundation and builder of the churchThe difference between making converts and making disciplesWhy worship is central to the church's purposeWhy the church must faithfully proclaim the gospelWhy biblical teaching and discipleship are essentialMatthew 16:13–18Matthew 28:18–20John 4:23–24Romans 10:13–15Romans 12:1Read the companion article:What Is the Purpose of the Church?https://discipleblueprint.com/Explore the Start at Home Series:https://discipleblueprint.com/start-at-home/Free Resource:Explore free biblical resources from Disciple Blueprint:https://discipleblueprint.com/free-stuff/Subscribe to the Disciple Blueprint Podcast on your favorite podcast platform so you don't miss future episodes.Visit:https://discipleblueprint.com/podcast/In This EpisodeKey ScripturesCompanion ResourcesSubscribe & Stay Connected
