It’s very surprising to see a lot of Christians both locally and international debate the idea of church attendance. The debate on why you should attend church isn’t a new thing.

From the early years of Christianity, the early leaders rose up to the challenge to say “We should never give up gathering together, just like some people do have such habits, but we should encourage and help one another.” (Hebrews 10:25)

There is a biblical pattern laid down for the church and some of them can be found in the Holy book of the bible. (Please See 1 Corinthians 16:2; Acts 20:7; Acts 2:42; Collossians 4:15; Romans 16:5; Psalms 92:13)

Taking church attendance seriously can practically change your life.

Below, we are going to explain the reasons why you should attend church weekly.

FOUR GREAT REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND CHURCH.
1. Meet and Enjoy a Community Of Believers
We all love to build connection and fellowship with others, and God has made this free gift possible by the privilege we have to gather together in his name. It can be in a church, at each others homes or in smaller groups.

There is something unique about this community of believers that makes us feel fulfilled in the inside and long for more. Watching a Christian television, listening to podcast and reading books are great additions to our growth spiritually, but the truth remains that nothing can replace Fellowship in a christian community via the local church.

2. It’s Very Powerful When We Worship Jesus Together
One profound incredible truth is that Jesus Christ Resides within us by His Spirit When we trust and believe Him.

When you read the book of Mathew 18:20, Jesus said that, ” Where ever two or three persons are gathered in His name, that he is among them.” This biblical truth about gathering together is something very powerful. In his name miracles happen and people get saved from demonic oppression and those who are in bondage are made free by the name of Jesus.

3. Together We Grow And Achieve More Than Being Alone.
When believers gather together regularly, it becomes a renewing and refining process as we pray for each other, help and encourage one another to serve and follow Jesus Christ. It’s indeed a beautiful experience.

4. God Told Us To Do So.
In Hebrews 10:25, God tells us never to give up gathering together. The Church is the Bride of Jesus Christ. So any one who says he or she loves Jesus, must also fall in love with the things that he loves. The church is very important to God and if it is so, it must be important to us.

God’s intention is not to gather us together to rain burdens on us, but his desire is to bless and prosper us. Attending church can bring great blessings to you and your family.

Don’t allow excuses to be a detour to your blessing and the call of God upon your life, rather depend on God’s strength and empowerment every day. You can enjoy sweet fellowship and a beautiful experience in his presence.

CONCLUSION
If you have been wounded in the past from church members or church leaders, don’t be discouraged, God is releasing grace and healing to you. You can make it as you desire to love his church, his people and follow Christ.

your prayers can be answered through some 1 in church!!!

Nice one. Though it should be clearly stated that CHURCH can be anywhere..... a fellowship of 2 believers is a Church already. Church doesn't mean instruments and all the ceremonies you see in Churches today. Once two people gather to fellowship in Christ, it's a Church already.This was what Jesus really came to set up on earth not a geographical attendance responsibility understanding. Nevertheless you are right also. Happy Sunday

So that pastors can have the opportunity to brainwash you regularly and encourage herd mentality.
Its like a babe carrying her yansh by herself to a guy's house so she can get fu*ked, lol.
Being a pastor will prolly be d best job in the world, Can you imagine standing in front of a crowd of people, wearing nice and expensive clothes, looking all fresh and charismatic and BOLDLY telling them give me your tithes and offerings, i am not asking you to do this for me, i dont need your money, I am only doing this for you guys so that God can bless you.
Picturing this in my imagination alone gives me a kind of high i havent felt before.
I will definitely be called one day!

Yet Nigeria is the poverty capital of the world

Trippledee:

Yes, he is also holy spirit. He is three in one and one in three

Nice advice for attending church thank God bless you

Nigeria is one of the religious country where a lot of people commit atrocities, at the same time a country where religion Centres are located 5Kilometre to each other.

Community of believers my foot. Not today's church, lemme tell you most people go to church to show their expensive wears, they don't even go to church for salvation.

I attended my aunt's church last week for the first time this year and the pastor was of the opinion that salvation and healing in the church shouldn't be free since hospitals charge before they treat their patients so why come to the church expecting to get healing for free, mehnn i was so weak even listening to just that alone and i was wondering where in the Bible that was written..

Well. there is a problem, they way africans attend church if it reflects in their character we would the prosperous continent but they reverse is the case.
i america and europe has less church than africa yet they are more prosperous, more honest and more hardworking but africans that sleep in the church and yet see their rotten behaviour.

just to have special time with Gos

ok

God is everywhere and I didn't make myself to became like this ,church is like a meeting of believers and is not by Force you to go meeting every week
