Why CHURCH ?

Is it just another day or another Sunday ??

For the believers in the early church [Acts 2:41-47], joining with fellow believers was a source of excitement.

The joy of gathering with others who love to praise God for His greatness (Psalm 122:1) and the encouragement, care, and unity that occurs when believers meet together (1 Cor. 12:25) are why we should gather and fellowship with one another.

The writer of Hebrews reminded us to be obedience to God's command to meet together regularly. (Hebrew 10:25-26)

Church is the best place to find Christian companionship.

 

It is a place where there is person-to-person caring and the opportunity for authentic sharing.  A place where the person will feel free, without embarrassment or shame, to tell his secret or state his struggle, where someone will listen, help him unload, and give him fresh strength.

GO with the anticipation of meeting with God [Hebrew 13:5]

GO to learn about God [Psalms 119:105]

GO to fellowship with others [Hebrew 10:24-25]

We do not become a Christian by joining a church or even being christened or baptized.  The only way you can become a Christian is by meeting Jesus personally.

Jesus said, "I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved." (John 10:9)

Our relationship with God must go far beyond church attendance and regular devotions.  It should affect our relationship (Neh.10:30),  our time (Neh.10:31) and our material resources .(Neh.10:32-33)

Christianity is a relationship not a religion

CHRISTIANS ARE LIKE COALS OF FIRE - TOGETHER THEY GLOW; APART THEY GROW COLD.
