Why Even Bother? | Selected Sermon | Mahlon LeCroix

Why do we truly need the local church in an age where religious affiliation is rapidly declining and personal, "do-it-yourself" spirituality is on the rise? This message explores the church’s identity as a spiritual household, contrasting the deep commitment and encouragement found in a family with the passive "theater" model that often dominates modern worship experiences. The teaching further examines how the church acts as a vital pillar of truth, designed to uphold the central message of the Gospel and protect believers from the spiritual dangers of isolation. Ultimately, the speaker concludes that we are fundamentally stronger together, revealing why the community of faith remains an essential provision for our spiritual survival and maturity. www.shoalcreekbaptist.org
