Who is Church? - New Life Downtown

What this episode covers

What comes to mind when you hear the word, "church"? This question strikes at our deep desire to belong, to know our place within the world. Yet, when our hopes are the highest, the hurt can be the deepest, and so for many, "church" conjures memories of hurt and pain. In order to deal well with the question of who 'Church' is, Pastor Glenn Packiam helps us to zoom out and ask who Jesus is and what is the salvation that He brings. Working through these questions, we pull the curtain back from many popular approaches to church and mission and begin the work of recovering the Kingdom-shape seen in the Book of Acts. Finally, Pastor Glenn walks us through the specify family values of New Life Church.
