    On his missionary journeys Paul started churches that were local
    and autonomous.
    The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20) salvation is the
    beginning of the Christian life.
    The pastors work - perfecting saints until they reach maturity (Eph.
    4:11-13).
    1. Do you need a local church?
    Hebrews 10:25 a believer who doesnt go to church regularly
    is a disobedient Christian.
    Some people dont go because:
    - They have been hurt by a church
    - They have been disciplined
    - They have been disillusioned
    2. Do you have to become a member of a local church?
    The early church had a recognized membership.
    - added to the church
    - Church discipline
    - Congregation vs. membership
    - Number of widows
    - Church-to-church relations
    By joining the church you join others who are committed to
    Christ in an atmosphere of mutual accountability.
    3.Why do I need a local church?
    A. You need the church for fellowship.
    B. You need the church as a means for growth in the Christian
    life.
    C. You need the church to provide opportunities for service
    (Eph. 2:10; Rom. 6:13).
    D. You need the church as a source of encouragement and
    challenge.
