Sermon from Oct 14


The Five Purposes of the Church

John 4: 13 - 26

1. Another purpose of the church is to provide a place to worship together.
2. Worship in these verses means "bending a knee".
3. Jesus said it is not where we worship, but how and whom.
4. How: In spirit. This means we transcend our earthly existence and worship God with all we are. We give Him our very best. We give our love, loyalty, obedience and devotion.
5. Whom: The one true God, revealed in the person of Jesus. Not everyone who is spiritual will enter the Kingdom of God, but only those who belong to Jesus. Matthew 7: 21
6. When we worship together, we honor God and encourage each other.
