People Have Lots of Good Reasons Not to Come to Church

It doesn’t matter how good your church services are if no one comes. And in today’s culture, people have choices. And sometimes, the other choices they have (besides going to church on Sunday) are not bad ones. They are just different. They could spend the weekend with their family at the lake. They could visit grandma in Ohio. They could travel with the kids baseball team where they’ve been building relationships with the other parents.

So it’s up to us to give our people convincing reasons why church is a great place to grow, ask questions, worship, and learn. I imagine when people saw this video at the close of the service yesterday–it gave them a reason to plan their weekends around this upcoming series.
