Four Marks of the Healthy Church

by Alistair Begg

Acts 2:42–47
 (ID: 2185)

What is a healthy church? Far from focusing on entertainment or felt needs, a biblically vital congregation is characterized by learning and growth. Such a church is grounded in the objective and saving truth of who Jesus is, which leads to fellowship in God’s grace, reverent praise, and evangelism that draws others to Christ. In this message, Alistair Begg shows us how biblical teaching, loving fellowship, and living worship will naturally create a congregation that is engaged and growing.
