Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ

Old Testament

Why Do We Go To Church?

PSALM 27:4 – One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple. THEME OF THE DAY. WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH?  Stop and think of the various…
