Title: What Are You Waiting For? (3)
Series: The Importance of Church Membership
Author: Jim Perdue
Text: Hebrews 10:24-25
- Today is the day, over the last three weeks we've been moving toward this moment. Today, we conclude our series, This Is Church!

I hope many of you are planning to take that step of faith today. *If no one comes, the invitation time might be a bit awkward for me. But, I know the Lord is in control. And all I want, and what you should want, is God's will for your life, your family, and His church.*

"The front row please," she answered. "You really don't want to do that," the usher said "the pastor is really boring." "Do you happen to know who I am?" the woman inquired. "No." he said. "I'm the pastor's mother," she replied indignantly. "Do you know who I am?" he asked. "No." she said. "Good," he answered.*1
- You should have what we call our Church Covenant in front of you. It was in your bulletin as an insert this morning. If you don't have a copy ...
