Be The Church || Why the Local Church Matters || Ephesians 3:1-13
Is the church still necessary—or just a relic with nice architecture?
In Ephesians 3:1–13, Paul says the church isn’t plan B—it’s God’s plan A for making Jesus known. From prison, he describes the “mystery” now revealed: Gentiles and Jews are fellow heirs, one body in Christ, and the church’s life together puts the manifold wisdom of God on display—not just to the world but to the spiritual powers.
If you’re skeptical about organized religion or a Christian who’s drifted from Sunday gatherings, this message shows why the gospel births, sustains, and sends the local church—and why our everyday witness matters.
