"Next time someone says something dumb about how they don’t think they have to go to church to be a Christian, please remember these things. We are members of the body of Christ, if we don’t assemble as the church, in a church, to have church—we are dismembering ourselves. And dismembered body parts are gross."
"We're here to worship God and love people, not feel God and like people. No one ever said you had to feel close to God at church. Church isn’t about how you feel, it’s about worship and fellowship. It’s about being challenged to grow in our faith and comforted with the promises of the Gospel."

Healing and Miracles: Marvel at the miraculous healings that took place, even by Peter’s shadow.
Application:
We'll also discuss how these themes provide both comfort and challenge in our lives today. Whether you're seeking healing, longing for community, or wanting to grow in your faith, this message is for you. Let’s explore how we can live out our faith boldly and trust in God’s power in every area of our lives.

Mem
97 Oh how I love your law!
It is my meditation all the day.

for it is ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your testimonies are my meditation.
