The past year or so I've found myself more interested in the bible than I have been in the past. Lately, I've wanted to go to a real church but have been apprehensive about it.
I looked up churches in my area on the internet. I picked one out. I drove to it 2 times on different days and just sort of looked at it.
Today I just stopped thinking about it and just went there, went inside, sat down and listened. It wasn't what I was expecting. It was mainly a message for people with depression, anxiety, stress, problems etc. It was a positive experience for me though. It was interesting. I'm find myself thinking about some of the points and issues he spoke of.
The reason I say it wasn't what I was expecting is because. . . What I envisioned was Bibles being at the church. I thought there would be a sermon with a preacher going over certain chapters and verses in the Bible and that people could sort of follow along, in their Bible, where the preacher was reading, preaching and explaining from, or something close to this. Am I looking at this wrong or are there churches where the preach more directly ‘from' the Bible
