You may have said or heard it said “I don’t need a church to find God or “I believe in Christ, but I don’t need a church “. These are common feelings that seem to be everywhere in our cultural moment. Many who would never say such things live these lines out in their weekly schedules.
Seeking God in your own local church is completely alien to most people. The bible makes it clear that coming to faith and growing in faith are closely connected to being vitally connected to your church community.
The bible says that the need to gather is the necessity of love. Love makes you want to be together with the ones you love. This Sunday, I will teach on how gathering with your church is fundamental to seeking the true life found in God. Forsake this basic at the risk of your own soul’s health.
This Sunday, make gathering in community with your own Church a necessity, not a nicety. Make this a priority for your soul’s health just as much as what you do for your body’s health. Often, we overlook the obvious reason for our spiritual decline and drift.
Encourage others to come, sit, have a meal, and worship with the Lord’s Supper.
I can’t wait to see you.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; 24 and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
