“Church is a regular invitation to proclaim truth through worship, and church is how we grow spiritually. It is where we can be restored in relationship with the one true God and where we learn to serve for all the right reasons. Church restores our hope.”

“For example, in Matthew 12, Jesus discussed the Pharisees’ misunderstanding of the Sabbath. He said, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath” (v. 8).

“To approach the text well, we need to ask questions like these: • What does God reveal about himself? • What does God care about? • What does God tell us about his plans? • What does God want us to be like? • What kind of communication does God want with us? Asking these questions opens a window into God’s unchanging nature so we better understand how to more fully bear his image.”
