People Have Lots of Good Reasons Not to Come to Church
It doesn’t matter how good your church services are if no one comes. And in today’s culture, people have choices. And sometimes, the other choices they have (besides going to church on Sunday) are not bad ones. They are just different. They could spend the weekend with their family at the lake. They could visit grandma in Ohio. They could travel with the kids baseball team where they’ve been building relationships with the other parents.
So it’s up to us to give our people convincing reasons why church is a great place to grow, ask questions, worship, and learn. I imagine when people saw this video at the close of the service yesterday–it gave them a reason to plan their weekends around this upcoming series.

Love the video! Any chance you guys will record the series and sell it as product?

The weekend videos will be available to watch at GCCwired.com. As far as we know we won't be selling any video of the messages but will have the audio available and series packaging.
Church Construction
Why do you attend church? Is it to make yourself appear spiritual? Is it to interact with possible business contacts? Is it out of legalistic thinking that says the more frequently you walk through the doors of a church, the more God is pleased with you? Is your Sunday morning filled with family strife, arguing, and screaming, followed by attending church with pasted-on smiling, happy faces? In such an instance, it would be better to stay home and work on biblically resolving the conflict in your family, instead of making a token appearance at church.
