PODCAST INTRO
Welcome back. This week, we are going to focus on the Role of the Local Church in helping you in your Spiritual Growth process with the Lord.
Again, Just a quick reminder about the 3 Essentials that we are talking about in case you missed the first few episodes in the series:
1) Birth – We must have a spiritual beginning, being born again as the Scripture describes it
2) Growth – Once we have begun, we need to grow in our faith and understanding of God’s Word
3) Reproduction – The Scripture gives us the task of sharing what we know with others, helping them to come into relationship with God and helping them to grow in their faith as well
The local church is part of God’s Plan for helping us to grow spiritually and a launching place for ministry to others. In today’s podcast, I will answer the following questions:
- Why should we be a part of a local church?
- What is the purpose of attending church or gathering together as a congregation of Christian believers?
- How do I go about selecting a local church to attend?
Special Note:
The topic of Spiritual Growth will be split up into multiple podcast episodes. There is a lot of information to cover and I want to take time to lay the proper foundation for each point, so subscribe to the podcast with the links in the right hand column and tune in each week.
