I was glad when they said,” Let us go to the House of the Lord.” Psalm 122:1
Do you look forward to worshipping with the Saints each Lord’s Day; singing praises, talking with God, observing the Lord’s supper, and hearing God’s word shared and applying it to your life? Maybe there is someone you look forward to seeing on Sunday that encourages you and helps you face the week.
Last week in our Sunday night small group study in Mark 4, Jesus gave us the parable of the sower, who spreads the seed {God’s word} on 4 different soils. One of the soils was the thorny ground, where the seeds were choked out by the cares of the world. Are we too busy to go to Church? Do we let the busyness and noises from the world keep us out of church? Jesus said in Mark 4:18-19: And others are the ones on whom seeds was sown among thorns, these are the ones who have heard the Word, and the worries of the world and deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and “CHOKE” the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Do you recognize this person? This person is not an evil person, but maybe he/she has a priority problem! Sometimes we allow distractions into our lives that take precedent over what should be truly important to us.
Brothers and Sisters, don’t forsake your chance to study, praise, and worship with fellow believers.
Come to Bible study and worship on Sundays. Arm yourself with the word of God. Be encouraged by others and be an encouragement to them.
Join a small group in your area that meets on a Sunday or Monday. These small groups are Bible studies that have 10-15 people to discuss God’s word; all are currently studying the Book of Mark. It is a time for great fellowship, good discussion, and a chance to ask questions.
There are classes for everyone on Wednesday night at 7pm- kids, teens and currently Robert is teaching the adult class on the disciplines of being a Christian.
For the last two and a half years we have a Zoom Bible study that starts at 9 am every Monday through Friday and goes for 15 minutes. What a way to start your morning in prayer and in God’s Word. Let Billy or Neville know if you would like to try it out and we can send you the link.
So let us encourage one another!
We will be looking for you.
Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as we see the Day approaching! Hebrews 10:25
