As we enter the Christmas season, which points us to Christ and the Church, some people are wondering, "Is church still relevant?" Some raise the question, "Does it matter whether we have formal institutions called churches in our society?" This series seeks to address those questions by looking at the role the church played in the first century, as well as the important ways it shows up today, as a relevant place for community-building, cultivation, and celebration. Listen to the introductory sermon, "God's Desire For All of Us" delivered by Pastor Donald Douglas.
