What is the church? Is it the gathering of believers as the Bible teaches or is it something that can be ‘tipped towards unbelievers”? Is the only reason the church focuses on meeting the needs of believers “because they pay the bills” as Rick Warren claims? Or, is the church where believers gather to devote themselves to the apostolic teaching as the scriptures teaches? This edition of the Extreme Theology podcast answers these questions.

Originally taught at Capo Valley Church, San Juan Capistrano, California on Sunday, September 25, 2005.
A very good and very timely lesson we all need. When someone starts to redefine what the Church is, they will most likely also redefine the gospel in a mannor that is similar to how they redefined the church. Both the "liberal" and the "conservative" parts of the Church are guilty of this.
Keep up the good work!

Chris, This audio seems to have been cut short. Do you have the full audio of this lesson? I would like to get a copy of it and any others in the series on the church along with your notes. These podcasts have been a great resource that I would like to share with others in and out of our church. Thanks , Ralph
