That's In The Bible?

Church: What is it for, and what should we do in it​?

Introduction:​ Church should be a place that you look forward to going to everytime the doors are open. For some Christians they look it as a chore to come to church, and even wish they didn’t have to go to church at all. But for those that love the Lord they understand that church is the best place to be. It’s a place where you can:

• • –  Come out from the world and come to a place that worships Jesus Christ our Saviour freely​.​ Most places outside of these church walls such as at school, at work, and other people’s houses are off limits nowadays from being able to talk about the Lord let alone worship Him. A place you don’t have to worry about what you are going to see or what you are going to hear.

A place that we can assemble together and exhort, encourage, and lift eachother up to keep living for the Lord​! ​(H​ebrews 10:25​)​, ​(​Eccl. 4:9-12​) ​The world, the devil, and our flesh are battling against us every second of everyday, 24/7 and 7 days a week, 365 days a year for the rest of our lives we have a spiritual battle that we are fighting and we need a place to come together and encourage each other to stay in the battle!

• –  It’s a spiritual hospital​: ​Just as a hospital is a place of healing for your body, the church is a place of healing spiritually for us ​(​Luke 4:16-20​)​.1) Church is a Necessity in every Christian’s Life According to God​: ​There are many saved Men, Women, and children that believe they don’t need church. They think that they can worship God on their own without a church. Now you should worship God every single day and every opportunity you can whether you are in church or not, but you cannot be right with God if you are not attending a Bible believing church.
  • –  Jesus Christ Established the Church and set it up​: ​Are you going to seriously meet God one day and tell Him that you didn’t need church? You’re crazy! (​Matthew 16:18​) ​Jesus Christ is the builder of the church, are you really going to not be part of something Jesus Christ desires to build?​, (​Matthew 18:17​) ​You neglect hearing the church and God will neglect you!​,
  • –  (​Ephesians 1:13​), (​Acts 2:47​) G​od saves most people in church at a church service through preaching​,
  • –  (​Acts 11:26​) ​This is the first time the word “Christians” comes up in your Bible and it’s associated with those born again believers that faithfully attended the local church there in the city of Antioch.
  • –  Without a Pastor you cannot be perfected for God​: (​Ephesians 4:11-16​)
  • –  The Bible is only Addressed to those who are attending a good local church​: ​If you are not attending a Bible believing church then most of this Bible is not addressed to you personally from God! ​(​Colossians 4:16​), ​(1st Corinthians 1:2​), (2​nd Corinthians 1:1​), (​2nd Corinthians 8:1​), (​2nd Corinthians 8:23​), (​Galatians 1:2​), (​1st Thessalonians 1:1​), (​2nd Thessalonians 1:1​), (​Philemon 1:2​)
  • 2) You should love your Church and Desire to come! Do You? Or do you dread it​? God doesn’t want you to go to Church just because He expects you to (​Psalm 27:4​) ​David wanted to be in the house of God every single day of his life! And today most Christians complain if they have to come just 2 days a week!
