Why We Belong Part 2

Share a commentIs church just a weekend event or something far more meaningful? In this compelling episode, Stephen Davey answers the pressing question: Why should we belong to the church? Drawing from 1 Corinthians 12 and other passages, this episode offers five compelling reasons that expose the dangers of radical individualism and explain the biblical purpose of the local church.You’ll learn why true belonging means joining the church as a family, resisting cultural self-centeredness, and owning—not just observing—your role in the body of Christ. Stephen also addresses common myths: “My Bible study is my church,” or “I can worship God in nature.” While those may be good spiritual disciplines, they are not a substitute for the structure, accountability, leadership, and mission of a local church.This message challenges cultural and congregational Christianity, calling listeners to live out convictional Christianity—committed to God’s Word, God’s people, and God’s mission. If you’ve ever wondered whether church membership matters, this episode gives you the biblical reasons why it does.Stephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardbackLearn more about twenty-five years of global impact, and reserve tickets to our gala. https://www.wisdomonline.org/mp/25 Learn more: https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
