RELEVANT ACTS | THE CHURCH |WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT MATTERS | August 3 2025
20/08/2025 Duration: 58minn a world where people are increasingly disillusioned with organized religion, the idea of the church can feel outdated or optional. But the truth is, the church isn’t just relevant, it’s essential. The church is not man's invention, it was created by Jesus. As Pastor Kevin reminds us, Jesus Himself said, “I will build My church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” The church is God’s plan for community, transformation, and mission in the world. It is more than a building or a Sunday gathering. It is a living, Spirit-empowered body, a holy nation, and a spiritual family created by God for His purposes.

Jesus said in Mark 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” That doesn’t just mean stepping onto a pulpit—it means stepping into your workplace, your family, your community, and yes, even your HOA meeting, with purpose.
