Word of the Week - Church Part 1
The Biblical Definition and Role of the Church
In this episode of the Middletown Baptist Church podcast series 'Word of the Week', Josh explores the biblical meaning of 'church'. He discusses the Greek word 'Ekklesia', meaning a called out assembly, and explains that the church is not a building but a group of believers called to do God's work. The episode covers various New Testament scriptures illustrating the church as the body of Christ, emphasizing unity in diversity and the essential roles of each member. Josh also addresses common misconceptions about the church, underscoring that Jesus is the head of the church. Future episodes will continue to delve into different analogies and aspects of the church.
