The Church is God’s people, and not somewhere to go to to be served and entertained. The bible describes the Church as a BODY (Romans 12:4-5; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27), the BRIDE of Christ (Ephesians 5; Revelation 19:6-9), a FLOCK of sheep (Acts 20:28-29; 1 Peter 5:2-3) and a FAMILY into which we have been adopted (Galatians 4:5) as brothers and sisters in Christ (Matthew 12:48-50, 1 John 4:20, 1 Timothy 5:1-2).
