If you are physically going to church today or watching a service virtually one thing to remember, we worship our Heavenly Father.
It is wonderful to be in the family of God. Today, pray especially for your Pastor and the leaders of your church. Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill them to preach the truth. People need to be saved and become part of the family of God.
1 John 3:1-2 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
Today, we can band together and lift our prayers to Heaven for God to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
We can stay home and watch our Pastor broadcast his sermon on the internet.
We can be together as a family and have a special time to rest and Honor God. (Isn’t that what we are supposed to do anyway?)
John 4:23 But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him.
We wake up Sunday morning and have to prepare for worship physically but how often do we take the time to spiritually prepare ourselves before we even walk through the doors? The devil will try to distract us with all kinds of problems. It’s a simple thing to forget in the bustle of getting ready on a Sunday morning, but we need to be thankful going to church. There is a right way to show up on Sunday, but it can only happen if we start preparing our hearts before we even leave our homes.
“Just sayin’…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 if 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.” Joy Bowker Crockett
Quote from the wife of a Pastor. She has so much truth and wisdom that her comments are worth reposting. Thank you, Joy.
Ephesians 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
Last night, thousands of people stood up and cheered for 5 hours with anticipation at a ball games that went into 7 Overtimes, yet some people complain when the Preacher goes over 5 minutes.
I trust you would have that same excitement and anticipation today to hear a Word from God. And if your Pastor goes over time, be grateful for extra time to hear from God.
Better yet, stand and cheer him on, it may just wake up a few people beside you.
Hebrews 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee.
Psalm 122:1 I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the Lord.
