What’s the most important thing about a church? Its website? Its facilities and programs? How about the general “vibe” on a Sunday morning? In this message from 2 Timothy 4:1–4, David Platt points to preaching and teaching as the fundamental mark of a healthy church. If we don’t believe God’s Word, or if we value the wisdom of man over the wisdom of God, then we are putting ourselves in a dangerous position. We desperately need to hear God speak to us through the preaching and teaching of Scripture. This is the beginning of a series in which we will identify twelve biblical traits that should characterize a church.

We want to invite you to something we look forward to every year: Secret Church.

This year, we’ll study the life of Elijah. We’ll pray specifically for those who are suffering for their faith, and we’ll act together to make Jesus known among the nations. Early registration at the best rate is now open through February 17.
