Some people approach church in the same way they seek out new mobile phone carrier or cable provider. “Well, I’m just not getting what I need anymore. I think it’s time to move on.” If you approach church with a consumer mentality, you are selling yourself short. When the knowledge you hear in church remains between your ears and the worship becomes little more than a spectator sport, you are missing the point. The purpose of Sunday service is not, “What’s in it for me?” Sure, everyone needs spiritual growth. Everybody needs a gathering place that brings connection with fellow believers. We all need a weekly reminder of our moral compass according to God’s Word. But there’s something more at the heart of the matter: the true purpose of church.
