What Do I Get Out Of It???

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 5, 2017

The phrase "What do I get out of it" seems to embody the reason for church attendance for many people who claim Christianity as their faith today. Is the body of Christ, the church, supposed to be a vehicle to make me happy for my own sake?

Please open your Bibles to Romans 12:3-8 which we will read in a few minutes. Why on earth would anyone want to join a church? You don’t need to officially join a church to be saved and joining a church doesn’t save you. So, what’s the big deal? With that in mind let’s go ahead and read: Romans ...read more

Insults & Pain Season

Is Jesus First Place In Your Life? Series

Contributed by Danny Rogers on Jan 16, 2008
