People say they want to follow Chirst but don’t want to attend church, so I want to address tonight, Why do we need to go to church?
You need church to help you center your life around God through worship
We were put here to worship God.
We were created for God and not the other way.
Nothing else can be the center of our lives.
You don’t have to wear certain clothes or anything to worship…
God wants us to worship together in church and in groups...
What is your next step?
Commit to worshipping in the temple courts (River Church)
Ps
You need church to help you connect with other believers through fellowship
We don’t worship the Lord alone.
We were created for relationships.
That’s why we do a lot of “Fellowship” activities … to connect.
We are a family...
God’s family is the church.
1 Tim
Look at how they fellowshipped in the NT days…
Acts 2:41-42
They not only fellowshipped, but they went to the temples and small groups...
Acts 2:
This year join a small group when we get them going… you may want to host one…
You need church to help you cultivate spiritual maturity through discipleship
We need to grow up - all of us.
You might be a young Christian, but God wants you to grow up…
Some of you guys need to step up...
Heb 5:
Some of you need to say, I am willing to host or lead a small group and let the pastors train me to do that…
Take advantage of any extra opportunities we offer: Growth Trac, Shape classes, etc.
You need church to prepare you to contribute something back through ministry.
Ministry is something all Christians are to do.
Eph 4:11
Hebrews 5:16
He gifts you to do his work...
1 Pet 4:10
You need church to help you communicate God’s love through evangelism
2 CO 5:17-
You need your church family to help you spread the Good News that Jesus offers forgiveness, love, acceptance, power… to people you know.
Take advantage of classes and messages that will help in this area.
Heb 5:16
