Every person who walks into our Sunday worship service carries a phone in their pocket. On that phone, they can access the greatest preachers in the world and listen to worship music performed with professional excellence, of a quality better than our small Church could ever produce.
So why do they come?
Because being present in worship is a personal experience. In person, you can talk to other believers, lift your voice alongside theirs, and sense something that simply can’t be streamed or downloaded.
Think about it: sports often look better on television, yet people still buy tickets. Music sounds clearer on a digital track, but people still line up for concerts. Comedians post full specials online, but there’s nothing like being there in the room. The same is true for the Church.
If worship is just about consuming content, staying home makes sense. But if it’s about connection and sharing life and faith with others, then showing up in person matters.
And if you haven’t been lately, maybe it’s time to come and experience what I’m talking about.
