Why Church?

What’s the point in going to church?  They just want to take your money.  The church is a man-made institution that was made to keep people in line.  It’s outdated, and no longer relevant.  I’ve got much better things to do like spend time with my family and friends.  I can do church and follow God on my own – I don’t need anyone to help me.

Perhaps you’ve heard some of these comments from people when you’ve talked to them about church, or told them that you go.  Maybe you’ve even felt that way yourself, and wondered what is the point anyway!

This Sunday we’re going to start a new 4 week series on church, and why it’s important to be a part of the local church. In fact, it’s not even a choice for a Christian.  If you are a Christ-follower, then you need to belong to the local church.  We’re going to look at the reason behind church, what we’re called to be and do, and how we go about it doing it.  To get you ready for the series I’d encourage you to read the letter to the Ephesians, and read through the book of Acts, always keeping in mind the question, “What’s the point in going to church?”

I’ll see you on Sunday!
