A new year is a time for making resolutions. Here are
There are a lot of good reasons for attending church on a regular basis. Here are just a few:
Community – It’s hard to find a place where we feel seen,
Understanding – Each week in churches around the world, the Word of God is being studied, discussed, examined, explained, expounded upon, made clear, and applied in ways that anyone can understand. Being a part of this conversation builds our own understanding and helps us see the Bible in fresh, new ways.
Encouragement – From pulpits, platforms, small group circles, life groups, and Sunday school classrooms, words of encouragement are shared that remind us how we aren’t the only ones who are trying to live a life of love, peace, kindness, faith, and hope. We hear a rally cry each Sunday that reminds us we are not alone.
And Service – Church is a place where we are able to experience selfless service. From the parking lot attendants to those who care for our children in the nursery to those who keep fresh coffee in the coffee pot, we see people who are engaged with serving others. We also have the opportunity to engage in that same kind of selfless service as we hear of opportunities to serve those in our community and the world around us.
