There has been continued interest in purpose of church, so here's part 2. This evolved out of a discussion I have been having with a girl at bus stop. To bring it into context and where it came from.
Told her a few days ago that church is also a place to learn useful character qualities such as the "Fruit of the Spirit" found in Galatians 5:22. Those are: love,joy,peace,patience,kindness,goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Again, simple looking list, but incredibly difficult to actually implement into my life.
Church also is a place to grow as a person with people that believe similarly to me, growing in knowledge and sharing that with others.
Similarly to last reason is, gaining knowledge from my pastor's message and then go and share with world around me.
Learn knowledge about Bible and help mentor those younger in the faith as they grow toward the image of Christ.
In sharing God and His Love, be a beacon of hope to a world largely without Hope.
