How do you think about church membership? Are you a member, as if the church is a club, a labor union, or civic organization? Or do you think of yourself as a citizen of the heavenly kingdom, a subject of Jesus, and one authorized to represent Jesus by the local church? Teaching from Matthew 16, Pastor Tim Pasma teaches what the Bible has to say about the authority of the local church and its power to determine who has the right to represent the kingdom of God.
