Are you actively part of a local congregation, or have you chosen to stand on the sidelines? In today's broadcast, we're diving into the heart of what it means to be integrated into the body of Christ, both spiritually and within our communities.

Pastor Colin returns to the profound analogy of the church as the body of Christ, where he talks about the inherent dissonance in being a Christian disconnected from this vital community. Just as a limb severed from the body cannot survive, a Christian isolated from the church misses out on the fullness of Christ's work in the world. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we were not only brought into salvation but also called to belong to something greater than ourselves: His church.

As the conversation unfolds, we'll explore the scriptural insights from Ephesians chapter 1 and question the implications of detachment, the importance of being connected and responsive to the head, Jesus, and what it truly means to work together as one body.

This is a beckoning to consider our place and purpose within the church. It's a challenge to evaluate why staying detached from Christian fellowship might feel safe but doesn't align with the life Jesus desires for us. The church is not just an option for Christians; it's essential for growth, ministry, and ultimately, for fully living out our faith.
