The Significance of Rediscovering Church
The podcast episode discusses the series 'Rediscovering Church,' which is a verse by verse teaching through the book of 1 Thessalonians. The speaker emphasizes that the American Church falls short of what Scripture actually presents and the potential it holds. The church in Thessalonica serves as a model for others to follow. The aim is to encourage and exhort those who feel disconnected or struggle with disappointment and doubt in their faith.
