Why does God’s plan call for Christians to be part of the Church? Did you know that Scripture calls the Church the “Body of Christ”? What would the Church look like if it were fulfilling the purposes for which God created it? Listen in to this week’s podcast for Pastor Bill’s message on this subject.

The Quest – Discovery 1 (Click here to listen) – “We have a Guide”
This week I visited a friend in the hospital. I checked in at the front desk and was given directions to the unit where my friend was. However, once I got there, I learned that he had been moved. But an orderly said, “I’ll take you to his new unit.” We walked down the hall, and he said, “Do you want to take the stairs?” I said, “Sure.” So he turned right, walked to the next hallway intersection, turned right and then right again and then turned right at the staircase. We went up two flights of stairs, exited the staircase and into the hallway. He said, “We turn left.” We walked down the hall to the nurses’ station. The orderly said, “They will tell you which room he is in.” I introduced myself at the nurses station, told the nurse whom I was looking for and she came out from behind the counter and walked me down the hall to the doorway of my friend’s room.
I was impressed that the workers at the Naval Hospital at Camp Lejeune went out of their way to guide me to the right room!
Many of us don’t really know where we need to go at this point in our spiritual journey. The good news for this week is that we have a Guide to lead us into the life we have always longed for.
Why would on earth would you settle for anything less?
The podcast of our service for Discovery 1 of The Quest reminds us that “We have a Guide.” Thanks for joining us on these 40 Days of Discovery! (Click here for the NoteTaking Guide for the Service.)
