... God's best: You can get it here. In every area of life there is God's best for you. There is a God's best in your career, in your family, in your relationships, in your dreams and in your life there is God's best. The way you find it is you listen to God's voice and you obey. You learn how to hear God's voice and you obey. You can always find God's best on obey. One of the best places to hear God's voice is at church. Some of the most important decisions I've ever made in my life I made because God spoke to me at church. Now God has never spoken to me in an audible voice. I guess He knows that would freak me out. But He has spoken to me in my heart in worship services so many times. Probably the best place to hear God's voice is right here at church. That's why I'm so passionate about the message that I'm talking about today as we are talking about the church. But first I want us to give a warm Fellowship of The Woodlands welcome to our international television audience. Let them know we appreciate them tuning in and being here with us. I want to ask you a very important question today. What is church? Some people may say that church is a place where you go and sing songs about God and listen to a preacher preach a sermon. Wrong. That's not what the Bible says church is. Others would say of course it's not just a place you go to sing songs about God and listen to a sermon preached. Church is a place where you go to worship. Wrong. That's not what the Bible says church is. Then other people may say church is a place where you go to get your spiritual needs met. Wrong. That's not what the Bible says church is. Other's would say of course it's not a place where you go get your spiritual needs met. That's being very selfish. Church is a place where you go to meet the needs of others. Wrong. That's not what the Bible says church is. The Bible says church is not a place, but a people. The church is not a place, but it's a people connected to each other through our love for Jesus Christ. The church is not a building; it's a body of believers. The church is not a place it's a people who are connected to each other through our love for Jesus Christ. The church is not this building. The church is not the pastors here. The church is you.
