About this episode
Pastor Chris Lodriguss explores the true meaning of being the church and our identity as a community of believers.
What does it really mean to be the church? In this kickoff to the Tab Chapel summer series, Pastor Chris Lodriguss dives deep into ecclesiology to uncover our true identity and purpose. Moving past the idea of the church as just a building or a corporate entity, this message explores the Greek word ekklesia , which defines us as a called out governing gathering . Discover why the church functions as an embassy of heaven on earth, representing God’s authority in every cubicle, classroom, and home. Pastor Chris breaks down why we are called to be ambassadors for Christ and why gathering together is a mandatory part of our spiritual growth. From the essential question of "Who do you say Jesus is?" to the power of a community that rejoices and weeps together, this teaching reframes what it looks like to follow Jesus in the real world. Join us for an engaging look at why you were never meant to walk this life alone. Plus, you won't want to miss the official debut of Pastor Chris joining the bald brigade .
