Why join a local church?

Many of you are alone and missing one of God’s best gifts.

1/ Join a church and surround yourself with God’s people
You will never like heaven filled with God’s people if you can’t stand being with them now. Don’t fool yourself believing you can have a special relationship with God by ignoring what He tells you to do. If you really connect to God you must obey Him.

“Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.” Hebrews 10:24-25 NLT

This only happens when you join a local church! Notice there is no “I”, or “me”, but only “us”, “one another”, “we”, and “meeting together”. You will not be able to experience God and His will if you church hop, shop, or sit home and watch online.

2/ Join a church and submit to God’s established authority
Admit it you are following somebody, but where are they taking you? Jesus calls his followers to gather together and submit to His organized leadership.

“Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow. That would certainly not be for your benefit.” Hebrews 13:17 NLT

Check out Acts 20:28 also.

3/ Join a church to serve God
Do you know if you are a Christian you have already been greatly gifted by the Holy Spirit with a grace gift for the purpose of using it to help other Christians. And did you know Romans 12:4-8 says you are already a member of the local Christians so what is keeping you from showing God’s love to your eternal family?
