Picture a Church That Gathers, Grows, & Goes

1 Chronicles 22:14-161 Kings 8:10-13The temple was so important to God’s people because that is where God’s presence was.This temple based worship was a shadow of what was to come.1 Peter 1:10-12Ephesians 2:19-22 191 Peter 2:4-6In God’s new temple, we are living stones that are being joined together in Christ, who is our cornerstone.Church is not a building, or a service. WE ARE CHURCH.As God’s people, we gather together services, small groups, bible studies, and other fellowship activities.Growth happens when we become hearers and doers of the Word.Hebrews 4:12-13Growth happens when people who are committed to Jesus are committed to each other. Discipleship was meant to be in circles not rows.The goal of our gathering is that we each grow in the character and mission of Jesus.
