A Good Church | By Pastor Steve Mason

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.



I believe every Christian has been created by God with a purpose that will not only make life exciting and worth living, but a purpose that will help build God’s kingdom. He has called you, He has equipped you and He wants to use you. A local church is just one of the instruments God has chosen to help you fulfill that purpose. Your involvement in ministry at your church is not just a coincidence, or simply a result of you volunteering to help, but rather it is part of a divine plan to help you experience one of life’s greatest adventures…to do the most important work in the world with people you grow to love. A good church will be committed to support you in every way possible. A good church will provide instruction, guidance and encouragement whenever and wherever it is needed. A good church will make you feel like you are an important part of a team, but more importantly, a good church will make you feel like you are a part of a family. If we commit our lives to Jesus, and if we commit ourselves to a good local church, then over time, God will do more than we ever imagined in us, with us and through us. So make your church a priority, and your time together with the people God put in that church with you will be one of life’s greatest pleasures.


Ephesians 2:10

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
