Acts 2:36-41; John 17:3; Ephesians 2:8-9; Titus 3:4-5; 1 Corinthians 1:17; Acts 3:19; Acts 20:18-21; Acts 12:1; 1 Corinthians 5:2; Hebrews 13:17; Galatians 6:2 - The Church of Jesus Christ is both global and local. In one sense, the church is made up of all people everywhere who have received Christ as Savior and Lord. However, Jesus doesn't just call His followers to be a part of that big family; He also calls us to b a part of smaller local families. In this message we'll talk about who makes up a local church, how we "get in," and why baptism and church membership are important.
