Today's talk comes from Pastor Louis Gaglio.

We're in a series called Imprint, and really all we're trying to say is

you and I are going to leave a mark on the world.

More specifically, we're going to leave a mark on the lives of the people around us.

And as a church, as a family, as a house, we want to leave a mark on the world,

more specifically on the lives of the people in our cities and communities and in the world.

And so we're really thinking on two tracks.

How can you and I elevate to a higher altitude and leave a more lasting mark on the people around us?

And secondly, how can we as a church understand and clarify what mark we're aiming to leave?

And so these few weeks we're talking about our house at Passion City Church and today,

we're really asking, I think, one of the most important questions of all,

and that is, what is church, and why do I need it?

Now, you're here today and you came on a rainy Sunday.

So apparently, you love church and apparently you felt like you needed it today.

So I'm a little bit preaching to the choir in the room, but just expanding the conversation bigger.

What is church, after all?

What is the point?

And why do I need to be a part of it?

And we want to answer those questions today.
