Why Worship Matters!
INSPIRATION – Many people have a skewed perspective of reality. Mired down by daily routines, blinded by mounting bills and pressured to keep up, life becomes a rat race with no winners. Yet deep down inside, you know you were Made for More. There’s more to life than where you are now! Preaching opens a door and reveals a bigger Kingdom, a better life and a purpose far beyond this world!
INTENTIONALITY – we are creatures of habit and we tend to follow the crowd without thinking about where they’re going or why. Those who do follow the crowd usually get lost in it. If you lose you’re why, you’ll lose your way! Our goal is to not just believe in Jesus, but to believe like Jesus so that we will do what Jesus did for the reasons Jesus did them. We live less out of habit and more out of intent!
IMPACT – our lives are not defined by the size of our bank account, but the love we share, the kindness and warmth we radiate and the impact we make. It is not enough to dream; you must act on it. Without action, faith & love are mere words. A great many doors open up when you serve others and we become the people God designed us to be.
