Why Church Matters What Does the Bible Say the Congregation Has the Authority to Do? Matthew 16:13-20; Matthew 18:15-20 We are responsible to who Jesus is and with Jesus. Matthew 16:13-20; John 14:6 We are responsible to each other walking with Jesus. Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Corinthians 5 We are responsible to others along to follow Jesus. Matthew 28:18-20 Round Hill Baptist Church needs to live out the authority that Jesus gave us so that our community can see real people and real truth and join us.
