“Get plugged into a local church!” Why do we encourage this? What exactly is a local church and what’s its purpose? The church is not a building; it isn’t even an organization instituted by man. The local church is an assembly of believers, and it exists for God and His glory -- that is its overall purpose. In light of this purpose, we discuss corporate worship and prayer, church membership, submission to authority, discipleship and evangelism, and more. The local church can reflect the unity in diversity seen in the Trinity and put the gospel on display!   Connect with us: www.dailygracepodcast.com www.thedailygraceco.com https://www.facebook.com/thedailygraceco/ https://www.instagram.com/thedailygraceco/   Questions?
