Why we need the Church

| 2/17/26 | John 17:20-26

Is church really necessary, or is it just a preference? In this message from John 17, pastor Sam makes the case that Christian community isn't an optional add-on — it's the very thing Jesus prayed for in the final hours before the cross. If your faith feels stuck or disconnected, this might be why. We explore what real unity looks like beyond just being around people you already like, and why the church — local, regional, global, and universal — is essential to what it means to follow Jesus.
