     | 734 views

    In today's world, the church appears to be busy, but is it truly fulfilling God's mission? Are we, as a church, actively 'occupying' or merely resting on past achievements while waiting for the Lord's return? This sermon explores these questions and calls for a more proactive approach to our faith.

    When we look at the modern church, we see that it is busy as a whole. But are we truly accomplishing what God has given us?
