1. Church Gives Us A Place to Worship
Worship and praise is one of the reasons humanity exists. We were created for community and also to glorify God. That is our ultimate purpose. (Isaiah 43:7) While we can give praise to God anywhere and anytime, church services specifically create an atmosphere of praise for us. A church home gives you a place to feel intimacy with God through singing and music, giving, serving and loving people. That is the place where a spirit of worship is cultivated and carries over into our daily lives. Can you worship God anywhere? Of course you can. But doing so with a body of fellow believers is powerful.
2. It Gives Us A Place to Grow
Being part of a church home should deepen your faith. You should be encouraged and challenged to grow by learning more about God and His Word, serving others, developing deep Godly friendships and becoming a leader and a mentor to others. A church home gives us a place to use our talents and to grow in them through practice and learning. It gives you a place to find accountability when you need it and encouragement when times are hard. If you aren’t in church now, go find one. If you have been burned by the church before, try again. The Church is full of fallible people, saved by the grace of God. They are not the point of a church; glorifying God and growing in relationship with him is. Do you have a church home? How has this helped you? Are you searching for one? Tell me about your experience in the comments!
