In today's episode, we take a deep dive into why the Church exists and why it remains central to the Christian life. Church is more than just a tradition—it's God's divine plan.

🎯 What you'll learn in this episode:

• What Jesus meant when He said, "On this rock I will build my Church" (Matt 16:18)
• What the Church is—and what it's not
• Why we must be part of both the universal and local church
• Common metaphors of the Church: flock, bride, body, household
• How the church helps us grow, face life's problems, and prepare for God's work

📖 Featured Scriptures:

• Matthew 16:13-19
• Colossians 1:18
• Acts 20:28
• Revelation 19:7
• Hebrews 10:24-25
• Ephesians 3:10-11

📌 Takeaway: Church isn't a building, event, or performance. It's a living, breathing family of believers—called out for a purpose: to glorify Jesus and prepare for eternity.

If you've drifted from church or are questioning its relevance in your life, this episode is a heartfelt reminder of why the Church still matters today.
