What do biblical churches look like? What should we look for in a church? Today, some Christians assume that we can or should change the church to meet the demands of the culture. Still, others give little thought to the church. They treat it as potentially helpful, but ultimately an unnecessary part of their lives. Church hopping, or failing to commit to any church, is, sadly, not uncommon.

In this series, David Platt explores God’s design for the church, identifying twelve biblical traits that should mark every church. The church is the bride of Christ and the means through which Christ intends for disciples to be made among all nations.
