Who Needs the Church?

It’s one of the most common statements in our culture today: “I believe in Jesus… I just don’t need the church.” It sounds reasonable. You can pray anywhere. You can read your Bible at home. You can stream sermons anytime. So why bother with messy people, busy schedules, and imperfect communities?But what if following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey? Scripture consistently paints a different picture: a body, a family, a team. The question isn’t, “Can you follow Jesus alone?” The question is, “Did Jesus ever intend for you to try?”THE BIG IDEA: Salvation comes through Christ alone, but He never meant for you to walk alone.
