In this episode of Knowing God, we discuss Church of the Good Shepherd’s fifth core value: Meaningful Membership.
We consider why Christians are called to commit themselves to a local church and live in loving, accountable, and devoted relationships with one another. We also discuss the importance of the New Testament’s “one another” commands, the responsibility of churches to shepherd their members, and the biblical purpose of church discipline.
