Why do you go to church?

We must understand Church doesn't exist for us, it exist to bring Glory to God! We gather together to worship God in His Word, in song and in fellowship, the music isn't about us, the preaching isn't about us, and the fellowship isn't about us.

In all we do we should do for the glory of God, and not just on Sunday!

The Church that is the body of Christ, that is you and I exist for 3 reasons

1) the glorification of God, “For we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you. Indeed, everything is for your benefit so that, as grace extends through more and more people, it may cause thanksgiving to increase to the glory of God.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:14-15‬ ‭

2) the edification of the saints,
“And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, equipping the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,”Ephesians‬ ‭4:11-12‬ ‭CSB‬‬

3) the evangelization of the world.
“Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”Matthew‬ ‭28:18-20‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Let's stop making Church about us as we cruise through life as if on a cruise ship, every Church should be a battleship, the world dangles over hell on spiders web as Jonathan Edwards said and they will not see or hear the word of God from each other but only from the Church, ( you and I) let's stick to the gospel, let's gather to gather and lay aside our agenda, and follow God's word, let's show the world why exist, to do good works and glorify God! ”You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt should lose its taste, how can it be made salty? It’s no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. “You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.”Matthew‬ ‭5:13-16‬ ‭CSB‬‬
Let's stop making Church about us, and realize that it is all about Jesus!
God's Word says this:

“Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to live worthy of the calling you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called to one hope at your calling — one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. Now grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. For it says: When he ascended on high, he took the captives captive; he gave gifts to people. But what does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower parts of the earth? The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, to fill all things. And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, equipping the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness. Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit. But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head — Christ. From him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building up itself in love by the proper working of each individual part.” Ephesians‬ ‭4:1-16‬ ‭CSB‬‬​
