Rooted – Week 10: Do We Really Need the Church? Description: We live in a culture that loves Jesus but is skeptical of His church. In the final week of Rooted, we’re reminded that following Jesus apart from His body is impossible. The church isn’t optional—it’s essential. In this message, we explore: – Why the church is God’s plan for community and mission – What it means to be the “called-out ones” (ekklesia) – How belonging to the church shapes our faith and character – Why baptism and communion are not rituals but reminders of family The church may be imperfect, but it’s God’s perfect plan to reveal His love to the world.
