Pastor Scott brought us the first Essential of a Healthy Church. Worship. That's what we do each week at 10:30 AM, correct? Well, no, not exactly. Singing praises to God is a very small part of our worship to God. Pastor Scott explains more about that, in this message.
The mission of the church, according to Matthew 28:16-20, is to make disciples. Our church says it this way "Make disciples by reaching those who are far from God, while bringing up those who are in Christ." Pastor Scott shares why this command is an Essential of a Healthy Church.
