Called To Be A Healthy Church | Colossians 1:9-14 | Pastor Joseph Allen

Title: Called To Be A Healthy Church Speaker: Joseph Allen Series: Healthy Church Distinctives Date: September 16, 2026 Bible: Colossians 1:9-14 This sermon establishes the foundational biblical definition of a healthy church as a local, visible assembly of believers who are united in Christ and distinct from the world. It argues that spiritual health is rooted in the active pursuit of God's will through faithful adherence to Scripture, resulting in good fruit and growing knowledge of God. The message contrasts the church with worldly institutions, emphasizing that its identity rests on the redemptive work of Christ rather than cultural relevance or size. It concludes by affirming that while Christ sovereignly builds His church, believers bear the responsibility to pursue holiness and accountability within the local body to ensure its spiritual vitality. https://www.sermonaudio.com/sermons/9...
