Church: Are you Impressed?

Are you looking for a church that wows you? 🤔
What if the real question is: Are you focusing on the right things? ⛪️✨
Sometimes, even if we don’t realize it, we’re looking for more ‘pizazz’ in our church services.

We want to be *impressed* by the…

Dramatic sermon
Loud music
Number of people in the pews

But here’s the truth ⬇️

We should be impressed with what Christ has done for us on the cross and not everything else.
Be impressed with Jesus’ sacrifice, forgiveness of sins, and the Word spoken to YOU. 🙏💬
Jesus came into the world in the humblest way—on a donkey, not a throne. 👑

Why do we think church has to be any different?

 Christ is on that altar for you in body and blood. 🍷🍞

Eat and drink, and that’s plenty to be impressed with. ❤️
