Hello and welcome to the Faith First Podcast where we bring you messages and conversations of just how to walk your faith out in this world. I’m Jonathan Gouthier, a Pastor here at First Church in Torrington CT and in this episode, I am joined by our Lead Pastor Steve Darr to talk about the church, what it is, who it is and why it matters. Hello Steve!

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • What is the definition of a Church or maybe I should say THE church?
  • What is the role of the Church or the Community of Believers?
  • What does the Bible have to say to the Churches?
  • What do you believe Jesus is trying to tell the Community of the Followers of Christ today?

Christ is always present to guide our church, show us the way, acknowledge what we do well, rebuke whatever needs to be rebuked, and shower our church with spiritual blessings when we overcome the temptations of this world.

We try to provide some very practical ways to step out in your faith and we pray it is beneficial to you who are listening. If you are new to the Faith First Podcast, I ask you to hit the subscribe button to be notified when our next episode will launch. And until then, be a committed follower of Christ in community faith first.
