BeLED 💡 LBQ 01 | The One With the Building Sign (and Romans 16:16)

🎧 A listener asked:

“If Romans 16:16 says ‘the churches of Christ salute you,’ does that mean only the Church of Christ is biblical—and all other churches are wrong?”

 

Whew. Let’s talk about it.

 

In this short-form Light Bulb Question episode, Christopher W. Stephens takes it back to what Jesus actually said in Matthew 16—about ekklesia, influence, and what it means to be called out for God’s mission.

 

This isn’t about abandoning tradition. It’s about examining fruit over form, mission over marketing, and discipleship over denomination.

 

💡 Questions to wrestle with:

– What does the fruit of His Church actually look like?

– Are we pursuing Kingdom practice or just cultural comfort?

– Is the liturgy Christ-centered—or just familiar?

– Are we proclaiming Jesus or self-help?

 

📖 Featuring insight from:

– Romans 16:16

– Matthew 16:18

– Matthew 7:16–20

– Exiles by Preston Sprinkle

– Renewing the World by Holloway & Foster
