What changes if the church Jesus said He would build is not a building, a place or an event? What changes if we, every Christian, are the church? The church that Jesus had in mind is a living organism not an organization. It is the Body of Christ, living out the mission of Christ in the everyday and everywhere. Listen or watch as we conclude this 2-part mini-series—BodyLife!
