Pastor Jack explores what the church is truly meant to be about when it gathers, drawing from 1 Corinthians 14. He challenges common misconceptions-that church exists primarily for entertainment, evangelism, or education-and emphasizes instead that the church assembles for edification: the building up of people’s lives, character, and commitment to Christ. Pastor Jack reflects on lessons learned over thirteen years of pastoral ministry and calls the congregation to regular gathering, honest participation, and continual spiritual growth.
