[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The true meaning of church is explained. This word puts the emphasis on the people and the reason for their 'coming together'. It has the meaning of a living entity, rather than an inanimate building.
**Video Description:**
What does the word "church" truly mean according to the Bible? This thought-provoking exposition delves into the original Greek meaning of 'ecclesia' and explores the wonderful biblical pattern for a community of believers. We examine key passages from Acts, Romans, and Ephesians to build a revealing picture of the church not as a building or institution, but as a body of called-out believers, united in purpose and love. Discover the foundational practices of the early church and how they provide a blueprint for us today.
Whether you are new to Bible study or have been exploring scripture for years, this talk offers a clear and scriptural understanding of God's purpose for His people.
