Here are a few suggestions on how to find a church that's your flavor:
1- you hear about Jesus alot-
gospel, gospel, gospel
2- you like the worship-
if you don't like the music.. Or it's too loud.. Or whatever.. Stop moaning and go somewhere else.
3- the teaching helps you know Jesus better...
Do you leave church thinking wow.. God spoke to me? Again if your complaining or comparing.. Leave
4- getting connected and involved is a simple process..
Simple.
5- you can use your gifts and serve
- you should be able to serve where your gifted, not just where there are needs
6- you are known there..
The shepherd knows his sheep- the church should know and care for it's flock. Which means they should know who walks in and out of there doors.. If your church doesn't know it's people... If someone doesn't know you, your joys and your struggles, leave.
7- they don't just let you sit there
- you come on Sundays, sing, pray, learn, then leave and return next Sunday... Yeah no bueno.. You should get involved.. And the church should pursue you to get involved. If your just sitting there.. And the church let's you do that.. Bad news bears
8- they are reaching folks that don't know Jesus..
And training you to do the same..
9- they don't fill your life with Christian activities-
if it's a Christian country club - that fills your schedule with Christians , there not listening to Jesus
10- they acknowledge they are jacked up and in need of the gospel too
So shop yes, ask questions, but then, pick a church, commit, and go all in.
Side note- being involved in multiple churches and ministries is not wise. Yes I said it. That'll be my next blog.. :)
