In this episode of the Crook in the Book podcast, Andrew and Jeremy discuss the nature of the local church. They emphasize that the local church is a group of Christians who regularly gather, affirm each other's faith, and practice the preaching of the gospel and the ordinances of baptism and the Lord's Supper. They also discuss the importance of meeting on the Lord's Day and the significance of the space where the church gathers. They highlight the benefits and challenges of both small and large churches, and the role of preaching in the church as a means of transformation and exhortation. They also share their earliest church memories.
