What is the “church”?

Despite being a word that is widely and broadly used, there seems to be a lot of confusion around what the church, its role in society, and whether or not the church actually matters. More than ever, there seems to be a level of distrust and disdain toward the church.

To some degree, this is understandable given the mainstream news and media attention surrounding scandals, misgivings, shortfalls of the church and those responsible for shepherding the church. And if we’re to take our cues and guidance from culture, society, media, or even our friendships, one might think that the last thing we should love is the church.

But that’s not the way it’s supposed to be! In fact, the church is distinct, important, and world-changing! And it’s this way not because we say so, but because of who is involved with the church: Jesus!
