1 Thessalonians 5 emphasizes that all Christians should rebuke and encourage one another. Church marketers urge us to ask how a church's programs meet our needs. But Scriptures say we weren't made part of the body of Christ for what we can get out of it. We are called into mission by God who created and elected us, empowered by Christ's presence in our lives to extend and build up God's kingdom, endowed by the Spirit with gifts, equipped by the teaching and preaching of the church's leaders to use those gifts. Merely to entertain children leaves them biblically illiterate, without resources of faith for tough times.
Research shows that young people are looking for depth.
They want a Christianity worth following and a God worth believing. 8765 w. higgins rd. This site designed and maintained by Lorel K. Ewald . All rights reserved.
