Which is greater, church growth or church health? What does a healthy church look even look like? In this message (podcast), Pastor Joey looks at 14 "rules" that apply to the Church (the Bride of Christ) as it anticipates her wedding to Christ at His Return. These statements depict for us what a healthy local church should look like. Only Christ can build His church (Matthew 16:18), but we can help nurture church health personally and corporately. Message preached on Sunday, October 22nd as part of the "Standing Firm" series and rerecorded on October 23, 2023 in podcast format.
