"You don't 'GO TO CHURCH' anymore?" Part 1 Stephen Bennett 2009

Church is not something you just GO TO, but something you become. Millions of people are confused about what church is. Many still believe in God but dont want to go, or cant be a part of, what they once knew as church yet they love God, often more than ever. Many still believe they have to go somewhere called church to please God, and once a week on a Sunday is their religious duty to worship God and give money, and that is enough in a modern busy week. The Bible shows us clearly that buildings located on street corners, church organizations whether historical or contemporary, religions or cults - are not the church.

Church is an organic global body of people with a myriad of local expressions around the world, living stones (not bricks and mortar), being built up by God through the Holy Spirit, into a spiritual House for Gods glory, through a relationship with Jesus Christ the ONLY Savior of the world, by the in- dwelling Holy Spirit through faith.

Stephen Bennett teaches and reaches out to the millions who Dont GO TO CHURCH anymore Maybe that is you. Its time to know God for who He really is. If you want to comment, or seek direction - email or message awesomecitytv.

Great video bro! It's amazing the kind of comments the subject turns up though isn't it? haha... Anyway, excellent points bro! Would you mind if I shared this as one complete video from my website? truthforfree [dot] com

[AwesomeCityTV]

@mynameisnobody777 no problem

[bddc201]

I feel awesome that I don't go to church anymore. I stopped praying to people who don't exist, stopped giving money to huckster preachers who only want money. The day I stopped believing was extremely liberating, being honest with yourself and realizing that the Bible is made up baloney is the mature and intelligent move. Jesus isn't coming, God isn't real, this life is all you get.

@bddc201 how sad

[EnoughAlready969]

Lay off the scones & fish chips.

Quit speaking as though you speak for God or know what God is thinking. You don't & there is no mortal man or primate that would especially when there are 400 billion galaxies and God decides to let a moron like you speak for him or claim you know what God is saying or thinking.

[AwesomeCityTV]

@EnoughAlready969 Moron....???? I didn't know that you know me? Primates can't speak by the way. God didn't 'decide to let me do anything'. The Bible is the word of God, if you know God ...yes you can know what he thinks and what He says. Obviously you don't....and like most athiests that appose God are rude and ungracious. I speak for God because I belong to Him and I believe in Him, the most intelligent thing you can do is humble yourself before God and ask him to show you He is real.

[quingermanfrog]

I never went to church biiiiiiiiitches!

Part 2: Indeed, Ephesians 4:11, clearly shows it's the Holy Ghost who issues and ordains servants into their position of services, not man. However, many go to colleges of sorts to become this or that, but are they called by God? You see, when God ordains you, you are anointed to carry out that office with power from on high, with signs and wonders. Today, people are ordained by man with no divine power to heal or anything else. Hence, another dead churches with people leaving them...that's why.

[1LonePuma]

As I've always believed and said, people leave these churches because they are simply dead. You can't minister to one's spirit with the intellect, it profits nothing. It must be by the Holy Ghost. For years man has been ordaining man without the Holy Ghost's permission. Some universities ordain these so called preachers, but God may have never called them into those positions, making another dead church. Religion is a dangerous word, where God is into relationships not these organizations.

[sweetsweatyfeet]

People are fed up with the bullshit and Christianity is the greatest bullshit story ever told.

[lilcoco770007]

You still didn't REALLY admit, why we dont go to church any more!!!!! Than again, I don't expect you to tell the truth!

[ronniekyo]

I dont go to chruch that the group hate me what i'm a darkartist. The chruch is for people that who dont know about god or jesus.

[SwordofSpirit1]

I don't go to church because God has shewn me that they are (all) owned by the freemasons (Masons; Dagon worshipers; Mystics; The Craft; The Antichrist), just like all of the other corporations are! The Masons aren't going to come out and clout you over the head with this reality. Everything's hush, hush legalized crime, just like politics and other freemason organizations. If you're offended by this, then I challenge you to take it before God, and ask Him. :)
