Some Assembly Required (Part 2)

Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In this discussion, Steve Gregg examines the evolution of the Christian church from its early organic beginnings as a fellowship of believers to the institutionalized entity it has become. Gregg highlights the importance of maintaining the New Testament model for the church, which involves appointing qualified spiritual leaders, avoiding a divisive mentality, and practicing unity both globally and locally. He also suggests that small, non-institutional groups of Christians may be better equipped to survive persecution and maintain unity, and that the identity of being a follower of Christ transcends labels of different denominations and churches.
