🔥 Is online church actually biblical? Or have we confused convenience with community?
As an online church for gamers, this is one of the questions we get constantly:
“Is online church really church?”
In this message, Pastor Souzy walks verse-by-verse through Acts 2:42–47 to answer one of the biggest questions facing digital discipleship today.
This isn’t about defending convenience.
This is about defining church biblically.
We unpack:
✅ What church actually is
✅ Why church is people — not a building
✅ Why discipleship requires devotion
✅ Why fellowship matters more than content consumption
✅ What gathering means in the digital age
✅ Why online church isn’t for everyone
✅ How believers can move from spectator to contributor
If you've ever wondered whether online church can truly be biblical, this message is for you.
