In our final week of There Is More, Pastor Dustin challenges a growing belief in our culture: that personal faith can replace the local church. While personal worship matters deeply, Scripture makes it clear that following Jesus was never meant to be lived in isolation.

Jesus didn’t just call individuals—He is building His Church. From the earliest days in Acts, believers were formed through shared teaching, fellowship, prayer, and life together. Biblical belonging is not passive inclusion; it is covenant connection.

This message explores why the church still matters and how God uses life together to shape our faith, anchor us in a chaotic world, carry us through every season, broaden our perspective, and awaken purpose beyond simply believing. Personal worship shapes devotion, but corporate worship shapes atmosphere. It is together that we experience the presence of God and are formed into who He is calling us to be.

Church doesn’t give you purpose—God does. But the church is often where that purpose becomes clear.

As we close this series, the invitation is simple but profound: don’t just attend—participate. Discover your place, take your next step, and say yes to what God is building.

Prayer

God,

We thank You that You are present among us and at work in us.

You did not call us to follow You alone, but to be formed together.

Anchor our lives in what is true when everything else is shifting.

Shape us as Your people.

Awaken purpose in us, not just to believe, but to participate.

Show us our place and our next step.

Use what You’ve placed in us to build Your church and bless others.

We say yes to what You are building.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
