Have you ever heard someone question the role or validity of the Church in today’s society? More than ever, it seems like more people have become suspicious or doubtful of the significance of the Church.

To be fair, much has been made publicly about the shortcomings and pitfalls of many churches, leading to suspicion and a dismissive attitude toward the Church. BUT – those things don’t negate the role and the NECESSITY of the Church in today’s society. In fact, if you were to remove the Church from society today, the virtues and values we care about would be severely impacted and harmed.

That’s because many of the virtues and values we have as a society aren’t only influenced and shaped by the Church, but in many cases they were introduced and defined by the Church. And it’s the Church that continues to further perpetuate and advance these virtues further into our society and culture.

In this week’s message, Pastor Ricky Ortiz shares a handful of these virtues and demonstrates how the Church today is not only impacting our society, but also shares why the Church is necessary in today’s world.
