This Sunday, Pastor Jon kicked off our Fall Sermon Series, Making Sense of Church, by asking the question: Why do we still bother with the Church? Western Culture has largely thrown the Church out of the public square, citing it as a divided, corrupt, inward facing, outdated, and hypocritical institution. While many modern believers see the Church primarily as an obligation that does little for them or as an optional addition to their personal faith, reducing life with Jesus to content without community. The reality is that the Church is a dysfunctional family, but it is still key to the mission of Jesus being carried out in the world, and it cannot be disregarded.
