Dr. Jim Ptak from Hebrews 12:1-2 teaches us about the Church. Who is the Church? what is the purpose of the Church? And why we as Christians need the church. Jim teaches us that we cannot claim to be a Christian and not need the church. We do not gather as the church to earn God's love, but we gather as the church because God has loved us, and given us his son, and he has adopted us as sons and daughters.
