Why Should We Love the Local Church?

“Behold, you are beautiful, my love; behold, you are beautiful.” —Song of Solomon 1:15

Does the local church today recognize its place as the beloved bride of Christ? In this audiobook, Dustin Benge invites believers who have underestimated or become disillusioned by the church to rediscover its beauty and glory. Exploring biblical qualities including the Trinitarian relationship, selfless service, and gospel proclamation, he awakens the affections of Christ’s followers for their local church home.
