To sum it up: The churches sustanence is supposed to be in and  through Jesus 
Christ.  Without Christ the church cannot do  anything.  The Church is always 
dependent upon something or someone to  survive.  If the Church is not 
dependent upon, (abiding  in), Christ than it is dependent upon something else for 
its very  survival.  "For by Grace are you saved through faith, and that not of 
 yourself, it is a gift of God, not of works, lest any man shall boast"
 
Concerns given after hearing a sermon that indicated the church had become  
perfect, lacked nothing, and didn't need forgiveness given only by and  through 
Jesus Christ.
