Membership Matters

by Alistair Begg

Romans 12:4–5
 (ID: 3116)

What does the New Testament have to say about church membership? The metaphors that the Bible uses to describe the church imply close relationships and structural order, and the Bible is clear that every believer should be committed to a local church. In this sermon, Alistair Begg teaches us that our pattern of involvement in a local church should come directly from Scripture. To be meaningfully engaged in a church body requires each of us to be converted, baptized, added, and involved.
