Have you ever considered that where you choose to sit on a Sunday could impact your spiritual growth and the lives of those around you? In this message from the series on the Practical Theology of Church Life, Pastor Chris Chadwick challenges the consumer mindset that often creeps into the local church. Instead of asking what we can get, we are encouraged to ask what we can give. This sermon explores how practical decisions, like seating, can transform us from passive observers into active participants who sing with conviction, serve others by making room for guests, and submit to the authority of the Word. Discover how a simple change in perspective can deepen your walk with God and strengthen the church family through faithful expositional preaching and practical application.
