Are Christians Supposed To Go To Every Church Service Their Church Has? by Samsimple(m): 1:15pm On Jun 03, 2018
Those who grew up in a Christian family may have heard phrases like, "If you can be out late the night before, you can get up early to go to church," or, "If the church doors are open, we will be there." It was a never a question of if we should be there, it was a requirement. However, in today's culture, where many churches have multiple services (for example on Sunday mornings and Saturday nights) all delivering the same message, it is not practical or expected to attend every one. Still, it is vitally important for your faith and relationship with Jesus to attend a church service on a regular basis.

As Paul teaches us from the prophet Isaiah, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Romans 10:17 ).
So, does a Christian have to attend every service a church has? The straightforward answer is, "no." There is no command in the Bible that tells us we must have perfect attendance in order to gain acceptance from Christ.in fact, it will not even make us more godly if we attend all services. We do not earn merit with God because we have perfect attendance. Our only guarantee of eternity is that which John the Baptist proclaimed about Jesus: "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him" ( John 3:36 ). It is grace that saves us, not our church attendance ( Ephesians 2:8 ; Acts 15:11 ).

While we certainly do not want to attend church out of obligation or feeling pressured, we must understand that church attendance is important to our walk with Christ. The church is God's plan for His people ( Matthew 16:18–19 ). The church is best understood as the global body of believers in Jesus Christ, but this body is to meet together locally on a regular basis for corporate worship, teaching, fellowship, and prayer ( Acts 2:42 ). The writer of Hebrews encouraged, "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near" (Hebrew 10:24–25).

For those that are busy with work or other commitments, going to church every Sunday is difficult enough, not to talk of every service.
