today on Summit Life with JD Greer.

If you want Christ to work in your life,

you've got to be a part of the church.

In fact, this might sound offensive.

You got no right asking for the power of God

to work in your life. No right to ask for the power of God

if you have separated yourself from the means of that power. Thanks for joining us today on Summit Life with Pastor J.D. Greer, and happy 4th of July.

I'm your host Molly Bitevich.

You know, it's not uncommon to meet people who consider themselves Christians

but aren't really involved in a church.

Maybe they were hurt by a congregation in the past,

or maybe Sunday mornings are busy,

and it's just hard to make it out the door.

Or maybe they tried it, and it just didn't do anything for them,

and they gave up. Does this describe you? Is it a? it just

listen to a sermon online and it just listen to a sermon online and go about your day.

Is it really any different than actually going to church?

Pastor J.D answers these types of questions today on Summit Life

as he continues our study in Ephesians chapters 2 and 3. This is the third part of

a message he titled The Mystery and Mission of the Church,

so grab your Bible and let's jump back in.

We're going to read this passage where Paul talks about the nature and the purpose of the Church.
