STRONG & HEALTHY with Steve Barr Episode 22:  What Is The Purpose Of The Church? Why do we do all the things we do? What are we here for anyway? What am I supposed to be doing? Today Steve gives us a framework to see from a distance an overarching view as to why Believers work, serve, study, pray, fellowship, give, go and send while trying to love God with all their heart. Listen in and hopefully it will give you some clarity and perspective.
