SERMON NOTES

Stop Going to Church

A Mission to Live 

Jesus designed us from the beginning for  and purpose which was robbed by sin but restored by the power of the cross and the empty grave. 

Our greatest  is tied to centering our lives on Jesus and allowing Him to use our lives for His purposes. (Col. 1:16) 

We are not  of God. We are  of Jesus. 

On this rock I will build my , and the  of hell will not overcome it. (Matthew 16:18)

What if church is a tool God wants to use to help me fulfill my  in life and for me to help others do the same? 

The church exists to  the  together. 

God made us to  in people's lives, but we have this tendency to drift back to me - especially in a culture built around being the customer. (Eph. 2:8-10) 

We meet as God's people so we can encourage each other to take steps of faith with Jesus and  the purpose God has for our lives. (Heb. 10:24-25)

I don't know where you should serve, but I do know this. Each of us is called to  and  .
