Why do churches have elders? | Acts 14 (Part 2) | Join The Journey Podcast
Summary
This sermon, referencing Acts 14, emphasizes the vital importance of belonging to a shepherding church community. Just as animals are vulnerable when separated from their herd, believers are susceptible to spiritual dangers when isolated from a church family. The takeaway is that true Christian living, mirroring the early church's model, requires connection, protection, and guidance found within a connected body of believers, not just individual spiritual content.
