Are you getting the most you can out of coming to Church?
The Church is unlike any other entity on earth. Organizations like McDonalds and Walmart were founded to make money, to employ people to meet the needs of their customers. Their end goal is profit. But the Church is wholly different. The Church was founded by Jesus to serve and worship God on earth - whose goal is saving His children. It is already eternal, and those who work for the church are not employees but children - children who love and serve their Father in heaven. Everyone who believes in Jesus is a child of God - a child whose life purpose is to serve God. I am a child of God who serves. You are a child of God who serves. Regardless of education or experience, we are children of God who serve. As brothers and sisters, we serve one another during our time together by encouraging one another to love God better, give God better, and serve God better in all that we have and all that we do. And we serve the world that God hopes for - by inviting others to join us and be born again as children of God - regardless of someone's history or their background - because God has not authorized us to judge one another, in fact He forbids it. So every week we show up Sundays, and as brothers and sisters, we work side by side. We unload, we plug in cords, we set up signs, we brew coffee and set out chairs - hoping they will be filled by people seeking Jesus. We offer encouragement and try to align our thoughts and hearts with God's Word and God's works. We sit together and pray and worship with song. We color with children and teach the Bible. We encourage one another, and we ask for help from our brothers and sisters to share more of Jesus. Our hope is that you won't leave the building on Sunday without having been a part of this wonderful work. It may be hard to believe, but without being a part of serving one another, you are missing out on the very essence of being children of God alongside one another as the Church. And good news!
