Passion for your house
It's really not a comment about how mundane it is to serve on a church's Welcome Team. The Psalmist would rather serve in an incidental way in God's house than be the centre of attention in another context. Being in God's house is that important. Similarly, Jesus was recognised as being consumed

Continuing on Sunday 10th November: And It Was Very Good?
Just a reminder that our series on what the Bible teaches on sexuality concludes next Sunday. Don’t forget that there will be a Q&A session too at 7pm on Sunday evening, 10th November.
