Does Church Matter
November 12, 2025
Church sure has changed. From the wooden pew I sat on with six other little girls, sisters, and cousins, eating crackers to keep us quiet, to the multisite church where I worship today, one question is always relevant: Does church matter?
My young relative after church one day stated, ‘I feel like I’ve been to an organization.’ Some focus on teaching and mentoring future pastors. A good thing but not our primary call to make disciples. That’s for everyone, not just a chosen few.
How easy to lean to the desires of a few leaders, a popular new model of worship to fill seats.
Does church matter? Our world is dark; our light is dim. What hope is there for our nation, our communities, our families? It’s time to keep first things first. Committed to discipleship. Jesus first.
