What is a church? You may refer to a building as a church but you know that it is really comprised of people. Yet not just any group of people is a church. Those who gather together to watch the same thing are spectators. Those who gather together to work together are a team, and every church should be a team, but not every team is a church. It is not enough to be in agreement on doctrine and practice for you can have this and still be effectively isolated from each other. I have called my church a body, with me as the head. The members of a body are so involved with each other that they share a common life. This is what makes a church.

Body of Christ.

Pastor, I agree with your message. However, I have noticed in this time of our lives, that sometimes when the body stays involved with each other, they become content with the safe haven and no one goes into the highways and byways to seek the lost. They talk about it but it seems like no one wants to go. Me and a sister in Christ, were just talkin about this today at lunch, and we both have a desire to go, so we will putting together our ministry and we will go and seek those in need of a Saviour. I enjoy fellowship with my fellow saints, and interceding through prayer, but we are commanded to go and not to sit still. There is more to the church of Christ, and the only way the church will grow will be to witness through testimony to the lost.
