Who or what is the church? Some might think there are more pressing issues to address in today’s world, but there’s no question that the word ‘church’ conjures up all kinds of images. Indeed it is a word which is very often misunderstood. Many believe it to relate simply to a building, or perhaps to a certain group of people identifying themselves as members of the clergy. Some view the church as an object of mistrust, a place of hypocrisy, or perhaps just as a place for old ladies or those who like to sing in choirs - in other words an irrelevant institution.
In examining passages from several books of the New Testament including Ephesians, 1 Corinthians, Acts and Luke, Alistair Begg explores such questions as;
What is the Church’s origin?
How is the church defined in the Bible?
What does it mean to be included in Christ’s church?
Who is in charge of the church?
Where do I belong in the church?
What are the marks of a healthy church?
What are the nature and meaning of baptism and the Lord’s supper?
What does it mean to be a worshipping and witnessing community of God’s people?
What is effective church leadership?
Whatever our starting point, this series of studies will bring us to realize just how vitally relevant and crucial the church is at the beginning of the 21st century.

| Jay Kronenberg January 11, 2010 | I listen every morning here in Rhode Island on WARV on the way to work at 6am. What a super way to get my day started! I am specifically enjoying this series right now: it seems so "simple", the way Pastor Begg explains it! Thanks for getting my mornings off to such an uplifting start! |
| Gregg Mackey January 13, 2010 | Dear Alistair-The whole family here gets alot from your sermons; the word you share strengthens us.; we very much enjoy your humor too! |
| ray tatum January 18, 2010 | You are on at 5 AM here in Peoria, Illinois. I listen while working out each morning, so I associate your preaching with pain and misery. |
| Leon Albuoy January 22, 2010 | I listen to your broadcast daily here in Bermuda at 9:30 am. It is both a sense of encouragement and a understanding, of the importance of my relationship with Christ but also of the importance of the knowledge of the word. May his grace continue to sustain you as you bring forth the truth of his word. |
| Michael LeVan March 5, 2010 | Alistair, I listen to you every morning on the way to work, KKLA in Los Angeles, and recently attended the 25th anniversary of KKLA at Lake Avenue church. It was a wonderful event and a blessing to have you give the sermon. Thanks for your great upholding and preaching of the gospel! I wanted to purchase a CD set that night but didn't, so I'm ordering it now. |
