The church... What is it? How is it supposed to function? Why is it called the church? Who was it established by? This study takes a short glimpse at the vast amount of information we get from the Bible regarding the church. We have been called by Jesus Christ to be "the Church" for His glory. If you believe this, it changes everything about the way you see the church, participate in the church and love the church. Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God, and upon this rock Jesus builds the church.
