Can Watching An Online Sermon Be Considered Church?

The root of this discussion is anchored in our definition of church. If church is “the hearing of a sermon” then digital church sufficiently meets the requirements of that definition. But if church is greater than a sermon and the Scriptures present a more robust definition then we must examine if this generation’s celebration of digital church is biblical or not.

In this episode, Dale Partridge looks to the Scriptures and the theological purpose of God’s people to collect the Bible’s requirements for a valid church meeting.
