Our culture says, membership has it’s privileges; but for Jesus’ Church, membership comes with expectations. We would do well to exchange our selfish understanding of “membership” with the more biblical concept of “partnership. We can look at the very first church, found in Acts 2, and see what Jesus expects from His church.
