HOLY WIT E28 – Why Church?

HOLY WIT E28 – Why Church?

In this episode of Holy WIT we tackle the question of "Why Church?"    This question causes us to take a serious look at the reasons why we religiously go to the building each week.  In the episode we contrast the weekly traditions with how Jesus really wants His people who are the true church to live in every day life.  Tune in to hear about the Lifeway research project that they did in 2018 that took a look at why there was a decline in the church.  Based on what they learned Lifeway came out with a 5 point…

Saul’s early failure as King quickly became jealousy after David killed Goliath in hand to hand combat. David soon became a hunted man. For at least 15 years King Saul sought to kill his loyal servant and much celebrated warrior. Life for David was not easy as he endured and dodged King Saul’s attacks. These were terrible times causing David to declare, “the…
