Do I Have a Heart for the Church?
Over the last few years, there has been a steady decline in the U.S., not just in church attendance, but in church involvement as well. There are so many other things that people devote their time and energy to that getting connected with or volunteering at a church has taken a back seat to other priorities. But is it really important whether I go to church or not? What if I go to church fairly regularly but I don't really participate? Does it matter whether or not church matters to me?
Scripture References: Genesis 2:18, 1 John 3:16, James 5:16, 1 Peter 4:10, Galatians 6:1, Hebrews 10:24-25, Romans 12:10, Matthew 7:7, 2 Corinthians 4:6, 2 Corinthians 4:4
From Series: "Heart Check"
We all have certain things that inspire us or get us excited, things that we don’t mind devoting lots of time, energy, and maybe even finances towards. We often describe this enthusiasm for a certain thing as something we “have a heart for.” At Flagstone we’re starting off the new year by giving ourselves a “heart check.” We’re taking an honest look at the things we are most devoted to and checking to see if we have a heart for the things our God is passionate about.

The Church as a Building
There are a variety of buildings we encounter on a regular basis - houses, factories, warehouses, shopping malls, hospitals, and restaurants. Buildings come in different shapes and sizes and are used for different functions. But buildings are also inanimate and stationary. Some are cold and unattractive, and some sit empty and seem to serve no purpose at all. So why does God choose to view His church as a building? What do we know about buildings that can help us better understand our relationship with God?
Scripture References: Ephesians 2:10, Ephesians 4:25, Matthew 25:35-36, Ephesians 2:20-22, 1 Corinthians 3:16
From Series: "Snapshot"
Throughout the Bible there are various metaphors and illustrations used to describe the church. These "snapshots" give us a deeper understanding of how we connect to God and to each other and what our purpose is in this world. We are going to take a closer look at some of these descriptions in scripture so that we can develop a clearer picture of our God and His relationship with His church.
