In the USA we are blessed to be able to go to the church of our choice. In many other countries this is not true.
Some countries dictate which church the people are allowed to go to. Other countries people are told they cannot go to church at all. These people are in danger if they worship together.
Church is important for our growth as Christians, fellowship of believers and help in time of need.
Today I want to thank Pastor Grover, lead Pastor of Fellowship Church in Thonotosassa, Florida. He reached out to his congregation to help with anything people need in the aftermath of the hurricane, Milton.
My property, especially the SOS Events Office had multiple trees and debris everywhere. The volunteers from the church came and got as much as could be done to help get access to the buildings and the cars that were covered with trees and branches. There is still much work to be done, but what a wonderful show of love and care from this Pastor and the other Pastors and volunteers from Fellowship.
Thank you who are still volunteering to help everyone who has a need at this time.
Pray for the Pastors in your community today. They go through the same trials in life that we do, but also have the weight of all their congregations to deal with. Thanks to their families who have to share the burdens, most of the time they are left to deal with it as their husbands leave to help others.
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58
Maybe you cannot go to church because of illness, your job or family responsibilities. God understands.
But, you may have stopped going during Covid and never went back. Disagreement with a church member or hurt feelings. Think about it. Are those really valid reasons for staying home?
We do have many ways to get church services on TV, radio or YouTube. But does that really satisfy?
We miss fellowship with other Christians. We miss the opportunity to see people baptized after they have been saved. Sometimes we may miss seeing the Holy Spirit working in the hearts of others. We also miss the opportunity to help someone else who may need us to be their friend.
Church is important. Let’s go!
Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood. Acts 20:28

How is the church you attend doing? Are people being saved and trained to win others to Jesus? Are you being feed or are you being entertained?
Church is important. Gathering together as a group of believers is important.
Encouragement from the Word and other believers is important. I’m not sure where you are today. Maybe you are tired…be renewed at church. Maybe you are depressed…be uplifted at church. Maybe you are discouraged by the church itself…be reconciled at church. Maybe you have lost your way…be directed at church. Church…
Christ died for it. It’s important. Be thankful. You have a choice of church today. Some people do not have a church they have a choice to attend. You do. Be thankful. Go to church. It’s important.
This church in the photo looks empty and forsaken . Many churches, especially, the small ones die because the people are not faithful.
If circumstances don’t hinder you, go to your church. It is important to encourage the Pastor. You do not want to be part of your church door closing.
Another reason to go to a good Bible believing church is to grow in the knowledge of Jesus. Also, we need the fellowship of other believers.
