Why do you do what you do?

Why do you come to church?

Why do you volunteer?

Are you simply following the rules that have been given?  Are you simply just doing what someone told you to do?  Do you ever examine the motives of why you would go to church or serve?

Our motives are just as important as the act.  Why we go to church or why we serve means just as much to God as actually doing it.

So, why do we go to church?  Because we have been told to in Hebrews 10:25?  Or, is there more?  Could it be that we go because it is the place that God has designed where we can gather with other believers weekly and fully see how glorious Christ is with the community of other believers?  Would we be able to experience this glory of Jesus without being in the community of other believers on Sunday?  I don’t think so.
Why?  Because, we desire to see His glory and for Him to be made glorious in our church.

Then, why do we volunteer?  Is it just because the church has made me feel guilty if I don’t?  Or, could it be that God has uniquely gifted you in such a way to serve the body?  And when you serve, you fulfill the promise given to us in Ephesians 4:16 by God that we as a church will grow (ALL TOGETHER) if you serve and use your gifts that God has given you.

So, we need you.  More than you know.  We need you to plug in, and be a part of the church and to serve.

Please jump in and pull the plow with us (Luke 9:62) and don’t just sit by and consume and spectate.
