After years of meeting in a school, the time has finally come to relocate. On May 31, 2009 we met for the first time in our new facility. It was a glorious service and the building was packed. Pastor Mike preached about being a Gospel-Centered Church and how we shouldn't forget that our primary purpose is to spread the gospel in a clear and precise manner.
Many churches today are more focused on having fun activities that will attract people to come. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy fun as much as the next guy. But I have to ask, "Are these fun activities pointing people to Jesus? Are they exposing their sin and showing their need for a Savior? Or are they creating shallow Christians (or possibly people who think they're Christians) who seek to be entertained more than they seek to know Christ intimately?" Before you go getting all mad at me, let me say that I am not saying a church cannot have fun activities. But our focus has to be more than that. People are lost. Without Christ they will spend eternity in hell. If your loved one was drowning would you rather someone throw them a life preserver or a party hat and some refreshments? I know that sounds silly, but let's face it, if we believe what the Bible says, then we know the consequences of sin. And they are dire. So let's get busy sharing the gospel.
