This is the first in a two-part episode on the nature of the church.
In part 1 we take time to think about what a church is, what makes a church a church, and how is it different than anything else in the world.
The pastors go back and forth on how Jesus creates the church and what function it is called to serve. Then they dive into the difference between a church and a group of Christians getting together.
