Why does the church exist? Is it simply a place we go, a program we attend, or a service we consume? In this episode, we explore a deeper, biblical understanding of the church—one rooted not in function, but in identity.

Drawing from Ephesians 1 and 2, this message reveals that the church was not an afterthought or a response to a broken world. Before creation began, God chose a people in Christ, desiring a community with whom He could share His life and presence. The church is part of God’s eternal plan.

Through three powerful images, Scripture shows us who the church truly is: the Body of Christ, with Jesus as the head; the Temple of the Holy Spirit, where God now dwells among His people; and the Household of God, marked by relationship, belonging, and shared life. Together, these images shift our understanding of church from something we attend to something we are.

This episode challenges consumer-driven views of church and reminds us that worship is not a performance or a weekly obligation. When believers gather to pray, sing, hear God’s Word, take communion, and encourage one another, the Holy Spirit is actively building a living dwelling place for God.

More than programs or strategies, the church exists for relationship—union with Christ and communion with one another. As the gathered people of God, we are invited to participate fully in His eternal purpose, carrying that same worshipful identity into our everyday lives beyond Sunday morning.
