Have you ever done something for so long that you forget why you’re doing it in the first place? This is called ritual drift. Over time, we can fall into habits and rhythms without remembering the original purpose behind them.

This past Sunday, we began a new series titled “Why Church? Why Gather? Why Studio?” We took time to revisit what the church actually is—because when we understand what it is, we begin to understand why it matters.

One of the things Jesus did was take an existing word in His culture—ekklesia—and reframe it. He shifted the center of gravity from an assembly built around civic duty and national identity to a people gathered around Him. The church was no longer just a gathering of citizens; it became a community formed by and centered on Christ.

As we continue this series, we invite you to lean in with fresh eyes and an open heart. Let’s not drift into routine—let’s rediscover the beauty and purpose of gathering around Jesus together.

Have a great week!
