{"product_id":"church-matters-catholicity-churches-partnering-together","title":"Church Matters: Catholicity: Churches Partnering Together","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat are the most important things about your church? It’s tempting to answer that question by pointing to what makes your church unique. Yet the most important things are what your church shares in common with every other church throughout the world—its Lord, message, and mission. Churches will best fulfill the Great Commission by prioritizing those common things and by working together—by being “catholic.” The doctrine of catholicity, which is grounded in King Jesus’s global claim, calls churches to work together. After all, every gospel-preaching, disciple-making church is playing for the same team. The victory of one is the victory of all. This issue of Church Matters explores these precious truths and the practical difference they should make in our churches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e9Marks exists to help pastors build healthy churches. We create resources and host events focused on expositional preaching, gospel doctrine, conversion and evangelism, church membership, church discipline, discipleship and growth, church leadership, prayer, and mission.
