In part 2 of our series, Jer continues to address the foundational question, "What is the Church?" by focusing on three major elements: conversion, church leadership, and Christian character. He emphasizes that conversion is entirely the work of God through Jesus Christ—transforming individuals from darkness to light—not by human effort but by grace alone. After conversion, believers are called to participate in a biblically sound local church led by qualified elders and deacons, roles outlined in Scripture as being for godly men who lead with humility and serve the congregation. The sermon also underscores that while the character qualities detailed in 1 Timothy 3 are requirements for church leaders, all Christians are called to aspire to these virtues—including living above reproach, practicing hospitality, self-control, and being ready to serve others. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their roles as lights in the community, share the gospel, and support one another as the body of Christ.
