Loving the Local's Church 's second episode is out called The Purpose of the Church.
Listen along and discover the church's purpose! The WHY behind our gathering together. Of course, we come together sharing Christ in common and to worship Him.
 
The Church also serves to equip the believers for ministry and to build up the body which results in the maturity of the believers.
 
Consider how you are being equipped by your local church to do God's will, how you are using your spiritual gifts to build up the body, and how is your local church engaging in reaching the lost for Christ?
