The Truth About the Church - Part 2

January 8, 2019

The Bible speaks of the church in many ways — the body of Christ, the bride of Christ, a flock, a priesthood. But with thousands of church buildings in this country and throughout the world, how do you know which one is right for you?

In this sermon, Dr. Stanley encourages us to prioritize coming together as the people of God and provides us with key criteria we can use to discern whether a church is following the design laid out in God’s Word.
