Why do I need Church?
Can't a Christian make it alone?
Why can't I worship God in the comfort of my home, enjoying the best preaching and music TV has to offer? Why can't I just enjoy being alone out in the woods-just God and I and the pine trees? Why can't I meet God at the water's edge, wiggling my toes in the warm sand?
Why do I really need church?
I need church because it's a family reunion. Jesus said, "Who is My family? Those who do My will" (see Mark 3:33,35). We are a family-rejoicing with one another, crying with one another, helping each other. We need each other's support.
I need church because it's a class-room. I'm preparing for a mission; I'm on an extended course of study. For the rest of my life I'm enrolled in a course of Christian discipleship.
I need church because it's a refuge. The sanctuary is a place to get away from the busyness of the world. It's a mini-retreat. It's a place of focus my thoughts on things above, to worship.
I need church because it's like a bill-board. As my neighbors see me go down to the building on the corner week after week, they can tell what is important in my life. If all my brothers and sisters are there too, the neighbors may wonder what is going on that attracts people so regularly.
I need church because it's a memorial service. Imagine that I had been in a war and one of my buddies threw himself on an enemy hand grenade to save me-and to be a memorial service for him on my hometown. Would I be there? Of course!
And since Jesus died for me, it's to honor Him that I attend His memorial service. It's to honor Him that I remember His death by taking communion.
I need church because it's a victory celebration. Jesus left an empty tomb. We can celebrate His resurrection together. At least one day a week should be set aside for remembering Jesus' triumph over death and Satan.
Finally, I need church because it's a time to spend with my Father. I'm a child of God. As my Father, He's
