In this final episode of the Middletown Baptist Church's 'Word of the Week' series on 'church,' Pastor Josh explores the concept of the church as a blessing. He recaps previous discussions that painted the church as a body, a spiritual building, and a beacon of truth. This episode delves into the multifaceted blessings of being part of a church, including accountability, love, commonality, edification, exhortation, education, camaraderie, and compassion. He encourages listeners to find a local church and reflect on the vital role it plays in spiritual growth and community.
