Maybe you’ve heard someone say, “I’m a Christian but I don’t feel a need to be part of an organized church.” This is a common phrase for individuals not attending church. But what does Christ say? If a Christian is called to obey the commands of Christ, does Jesus command us to be a part of the church?

In this podcast Cory and Trent discuss how Christ believed the local church is necessary, so much so, in fact, that He organized it, gave specific commands you cannot obey while in neglect of it, and gifted you by His grace with its gathering just as he gathered you in it by His grace.
