    Passion For God’s House

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 8, 2022

     | 8,152 views

    This message looks at four reasons to have a passion for God’s house. First, it is a place to satisfy our passion; secondly, it is a place for all to take refuge; thirdly, it is a place of blessing; and last of all, it is a place we would rather be.

    I want you to think about how you feel whenever you decide to attend church. Do you dread going to church; do you feel complacent about it; or do you anticipate going to church with a fervent passion and desire? In our message this morning, we’ll view a passage from Psalm that’s said to be ...read more
