Lessons I’ve Learned: the Body of Christ

Why do we get together on Sundays and go to church? Is it simply tradition? Is it to fill the time because we have so much free time? Is it a social gathering put together for our benefit? Do we go to church to please others? Do we go to obey God? What’s in it for us?

As we wind down our summer series, Lessons I’ve Learned through Scripture, I wanted to look at a two things we’ll be looking at in more detail this fall — the church, and the Bible. Both are core to our lives as followers of Christ, but both can fall into the realm of religion: following rules instead of following God. This Sunday I want to focus on the joy of coming together as the Body of Christ, and recognizing that as we come together our primary focus is on God, but our secondary focus is on others, not ourselves. I hope that you’ll be able to join us this Sunday. In order to prepare for this Sunday I’d encourage you to read Psalm 122 and Hebrews 10.
