Church Explained

4 Sermons | April 12-May 3, 2026

Every week, millions of people show up to churches all across the world. While we're at church, we sing songs and listen to a sermon that's part of our worship services. But if you asked most of us why we do any of these things, we'd probably struggle to come up with an answer.

 

In this series, we're taking a closer look at the things we do every week in church that we've stopped thinking about — and we'll discover that the reasons behind them matter more than we ever realized.

Sermon 1

Why Do We Worship?

April 12, 2026

There are times when going to church feels meaningful. And there are times when it just feels like something you do. So why do we keep showing up?

 

Do we keep showing up just because it's a habit or because we have a job to do at church? Or, is there something deeper going on that we need to rediscover to help us understand why we worship?

Sermon 2

Why Do We Sing?

April 19, 2026

Some people love to sing...but plenty of us feel like we can't carry a tune in a bucket. So it's a little strange that we're all invited to sing at church every week.

 

But singing in church isn't about putting on a performance or showing how talented you are. No, there's a much bigger reason why we sing in church that makes us all want to raise our voices no matter how well we sing.

Sermon 3

Why Is There a Sermon?

April 26, 2026

How many sermons have you sat through over the years? Dozens? Hundreds? And how many do you actually remember? If the answer feels a little embarrassing, you're not alone. But the problem might not be the sermons.

 

Each sermon gives us the chance to hear a word from God. And if we have the chance to hear from God, the question we need to ask is: Are we ready to listen?

Sermon 4

Why Do We Call It a Worship Service?

May 3, 2026

Every Sunday, we come together for a worship service. And the worship part makes sense...but what about the service? When most of us think about service we think about eating at a restaurant or making a return at Walmart.

 

So what does service have to do with church? Well, believe it or not, the service part is every bit as important to the church as the worship part.
