Church isn’t about you! It’s about worshipping Jesus. Instead of being consumers, let’s go to church and ask what we can give Jesus because of all he has given us.

About This Quote

This quote is similar to the quote above, but this is about worship. When people go to church they are usually looking to be inspired by the sermon or pray for guidance, but they are most likely not there to worship Jesus. If people are going to worship Jesus they should do so in the way that he wanted them to be worshiped.
