As I sit in my pew each Sunday morning I often wonder if we are doing everything we can to reach our community for Christ. Also, are we providing our members with the necessary training to share their faith as Jesus would have them do? Are they learning how to worship, to grow in spirit and truth as the Lord Jesus commands, “But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth” (John 4:23-24).
