What Does a Christian Church Look Like? | John MacArthur Classics

Pastor John MacArthur, in one of his earliest sermons from 1969, discusses what the question of how to play church. He discusses the difference between a true church and a false church and uses the analogy of a wheat and tares to describe the church. A true church is one that follows the teachings of Christ, while a false church is one that does not. Pastor John also warns against those who claim to be Christians but do not live according to Christ’s teachings. He says that these people are like dead people. A true church should be a place where people can learn about and grow in their faith.
