Why Come to Church

REASONS FOR COMING TO CHURCH

If you are:
A) Not coming to God’s house regularly, or
B) Not seeking to build it, then

Consider these reasons why you should fully direct your energies to build this and other local churches:

  1. God commands us to meet together to consider one another and to PROVOKE one another to love and to good works. “And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24,25.
  2. To rescue people from HELL. “And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments..…and said,…… I am tormented in this flame.” Luke 16:23,24.
  3. By coming to church, you TEACH YOUR CHILDREN that God’s House is important. By not coming to church, you teach your children to forsake God, God’s House, God’s people and God’s work. You also teach them that the things of God do not matter. Deuteronomy 6:4,9.
  4. Coming to church is an unselfish thing that we do:
    A) To put ourselves out to help others,
    B) To glorify God,
    C) To extend God’s kingdom. Matthew 6:33.
  5. You will never be fruitful 100 fold by avoiding church. Do you want to be fruitful? Matt. 13:23.
  6. If you know what is right and don’t do it, God will count you as unfaithful. Luke 12:42-48.

  14. To become great in God’s eyes like Moses who:
    A) Refused worldly honour, v.24
    B) Chose to suffer affliction with the people of God,
    C) Did not pursue the pleasures of sin for a season,
    D) He had respect for the recompense of God’s eternal reward. (Hebrews 11:24-27).
