WHY THE CHURCH

Hebrews 10:19-25

The Church is formed in Christ.

Jesus is the only way into the true church.

Jesus is the foundation and the center of the church.

The Church belongs to Jesus.

Church reforms our hearts with the Word.

Church reminds us of eternity.

GROUP / FAMILY DISCUSSION
Did you attend church as a child? If so, describe your experience in church.

What do you like best about church? What do you like least?

“Not everyone attending church is part of the true Church?” What is meant by that statement? How can we know if we are part of the true Church?

The Bible gives several images to describe the church. Read the following passages and discuss the different ways the church is described.
- Ephesians 2:21-22
- Ephesians 1:22-23
- Revelation 19:7-8
- 1 John 3:1-2

How has the church helped to form you more like Christ?

How can we (the church) help you more?

What is Jesus asking you to do (something practical) to be more committed to His Church?

Pray for someone you know by name who needs to believe the gospel and become part of the true Church. Pray that God may use you.
