How Church Works

Biblical Community in the Face of COVID-19


Listen Later

In this episode, Scott Wylie and Jimmy Carter discuss the importance of biblical community, and the challenges of finding fellowship when the church can't meet face-to-face. Some key truths from this episode:

  1. Biblical community is rooted in our fellowship with God the Father and with His Son, Jesus Christ. 
  2. Not everyone understands the importance of community. 
  3. A focus on self, and what you get out of the church, is a barrier to finding biblical community. 
  4. Pastors can't provide the fellowship each member needs. 
  5. COVID-19 is a wake-up call to the church that community is more important than many people think. 
  6. Technology is a valuable resource but is not a one-to-one replacement for face-to-face interaction. 
  7. The church, by definition, is an assembled body. "Virtual church" can not be the norm. 
  8. Video technology may become a permanent fixture in helping people interact online between their in-person gatherings.
