We should serve the church as it is the body of Christ. Jesus has called his disciples to preach the gospel to the entire world through this church. We need to step forward in order to extend God’s kingdom smoothly.
Jesus says we will be rewarded for serving the church so we need to take care of it and give our time to bring many lost souls into God’s house. People who are around us must know Jesus as he is the living God and we need to add them to the church.
