In this Wednesday night message from our Baptist Distinctives series, we examine the biblical doctrine of the autonomy of the local church and answer an important question: What is the Church according to the Bible?
This study explores the difference between:
The Family of God
The Kingdom of God
The Kingdom of Heaven
The Church of God
Using Scripture from Matthew 16, Acts 2, Ephesians 2, Luke 6, and many other passages, this message explains why these terms are not interchangeable and why sound doctrine matters in the life of the believer and the local church.
This message challenges believers to compare every doctrine and tradition with Scripture and to understand God’s purpose for the local church in carrying out the Great Commission.
