Do we need church?


            As we enter a new year                                       This scripture was not

        there are some things I                                      meant to say you can

        have been thinking about.                                    never miss church. This

        One of things is do we                                       scripture is meant to
        really need church.                                          encourage those


            Too many times I have                                    considering dropping out

        encountered people that                                      of church altogether to

        see a need to go to church                                   stay in church.

        to hear the Word. All they                                       This scripture tells us
        need to do is turn on the TV                                 that we are to be there

        and get all the Word they                                    to exhort one another,

        want.                                                        keep each other lifted up


            I have heard everything                                  in prayer, and to stir each
        like, it's too far for me to                                 other up to do good

        people in the church,                                            It is also telling us we

        because they're all just                                     need to make assembling

        hypocrites.                                                  as a church one of our

            Let's look at what                                       highest priorities.

        Hebrews 10:25 has to say                                         When it says, “Not

        about attending church.                                      forsaking” it means it is

                                                                     important for you to be

        together, as some are in the                                 there. How can we lift

        habit of doing, but                                          each other up and exhort

        encouraging one another                                      one another while sitting
