Below is a link to a recent sermon by Jay Thomas, lead pastor of the Chapel Hill Bible Church. Jay spoke about the importance of the local church in sustaining Christ's kingdom, and the strength that comes through the community of saints.
The Mystery of Godliness
I hope to come to you soon, but I am writing these things to you so that, if I delay, you may know how one ought to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, a pillar and buttress of the truth. Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness:
He was manifested in the flesh,
taken up in glory. ! Timothy 3
