Pastor Josh spoke about “What is Church” today
While referencing lots of Greek words, he did say
Church means different things to different people
Praying, sharing, or just a building with a steeple
Pastor Josh relied to the principle of first mention
Church appears to be a New Testament invention
Jesus asked who He was, as perMatthew sixteen
Simon Peter’s response was the best, it is seen
Since Jesus cares about individual relationships
Trying to reveal Himself before the apocalypse
It is effectively a continual journey of revelation
Allowing us to choose heaven over damnation
Church is an environment to expose God’s love
Our job is to on earth represent God from above
Similar to what Jesus told Peter, the little stone
Belief in Jesus is the solid rock, the real throne
Church means "called to a community" in Greek
Per John fifteen, it is not this world we do seek
For we are a chosen people, per First Peter two
Part of a community with many a shared value
Jesus said we should not fear physical death
For spiritual life continues after our last breath
What binds us on earth will in heaven do too
God can loose us from addictions - it’s true
In summary, the church is a calling and a community
Connecting with other people at every opportunity
Church is also a commissioning, Josh did deduce
A people that can prevail, can bind, and can loose
