About The Church

It's Friday, and you know what that means, don't you? It means I'm getting super-pumped about this Sunday at EFBC! Wednesday night was amazing this week! At about 5:45, we had everybody in the fellowship hall, and just seeing all those kids in there lit a fire in me. Sure, it was a bit loud and crazy for a few minutes, but I'll take a loud crowd over a silent and empty building any day!

What we're doing at EFBC is the most important thing in all of the world! OK, so it's not really us, but rather God doing it and using us in the process. There's no greater need on this planet than for people to have a life changing relationship with Jesus! For those of you who are serving in ANY capacity, don't ever think that what you're doing is not making a difference. God has already produced fruit that we've been able to see right now. And I truly believe there will be many other fruits that we'll not even know of until we all get to heaven.

This Sunday at Eulaton, we'll be continuing our Frequently Asked Questions series. This week's message will deal with frequently asked questions about the church. Here's the questions we'll try to answer this Sunday:

-Why can't I just watch church on television?
-Can't I worship God just as well in the woods?
-Aren't all churches full of hypocrites?
-With so many denominations, which one is right?
-Why should I attend when it doesn't apply to me?
-What is church really all about?
-Can't I love Jesus without loving the church?

I hope you'll plan on being with us this Sunday morning. I'm praying (and I hope you will be, too) that God will show up in a huge way. One verse God showed me this week is Psalm 69:9, where David says, "zeal for your house consumes me." I'm praying that a zeal for Jesus and His church will consume all of us in a powerful way!

Keep praying! Keep investing and inviting! And keep expecting GREATER THINGS because THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
