Season 2, Episode 2 — What Is the Church? (And What It Is Not)

In an age where “church” is often reduced to a building, a brand, or a weekly event, Episode 2 of Sola Veritas asks a foundational question: What is the Church — and what is it not? This episode challenges the common assumption that the Church is merely a man-made institution or a voluntary religious community. Instead, we recover the biblical vision of the Church as God’s covenantal people, grounded in Scripture, shaped by history, and ruled by Christ Himself. We explore the distinction between the visible and invisible Church, asking why believers must belong to the imperfect visible church even though salvation belongs to the invisible body of the elect. From there, we examine the Church as a covenantal community, confronting the modern impulse toward isolation, consumer Christianity, and casual commitment. Finally, we center everything on Christ as the Head and Cornerstone of His Church — not a distant figurehead, but the living King who actively rules, sustains, and governs His people today. By rooting ecclesiology in Christ’s kingship, we show why the Church’s identity must be shaped by Scripture and history, not cultural trends or institutional innovation. If Episode 1 asked why the Church matters, Episode 2 defines what the Church actually is — setting the theological foundation for everything that follows this season.
