http://saddleback.com — Why do more than 2 billion people attend church worldwide? What are the benefits? If someone were to ask you why you go to church, you may have a difficult time thinking of an answer. In this message, Pastor Rick Warren talks about how a church is not a place we go to or an event we attend — it’s a spiritual family. It’s a group of baptized believers who’ve joined together in a commitment to help each other fulfill God’s five purposes for their lives. You’ll learn why the church is the most important group on earth, and why it’s exactly where you belong!
