Jesus without the Church

The webinar "Jesus sans l'Eglise?” with Pierre-Sovann Chauny, Professor of Systematic Theology at Faculté Jean Calvin," is available online (in French). Click here. For those of you who read French better than comprehend spoken French, be sure to turn on French subtitles in YouTube by clicking on the cogged-wheel icon (lower right on YouTube screen), select “Subtitltes/CC”, and then select “French (auto-generated)”. (Please keep in mind that some content may be lost or altered in translation, because these subtitles were creasted by YouTube and not by FJC.)

Can you be interested in Jesus, but not the Church? Or can you be a Christian and not be part of a local church? What does the Bible say about this?
