- A church helps me know God

- A church helps me connect with other believers

- A church helps me grow spiritually

- A church helps me discover my purpose

God didn't just save you FROM something, he saved you FOR something

Isaiah 6:1

In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

Isaiah 6:5-8

5 Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” 6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. 7 He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.” 8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

Saved People, Serve People

God-given gifts + Serve others + God's purpose = Ministry

Ephesians 4:11-12

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up

Attending church is NOT a spiritual gift
