Sunday Service

 

I am so lucky.

I attend a great church now.

The best part is that whatever seems to be going on in our house and our Bible studies somehow ends up being part of our Sunday service. I just love that!!

This weekend my husband had to work on Sunday. We even waited till the last service just in case he could get home in time but it did not work out. My son was very unhappy. He did not feel that it was fair that Dad got to "skip" church and he did not. 

My response was, "too bad son. You are going and you are going to look nice! So go comb your hair." Grumbling he left to clean up, grab his Bible and get out to the van. On the way down to church I pointed out that God had given us so much all week long. We are so blessed! We have food, shelter, the freedom to worship the Lord with no worries of persecution or death. We had been blessed all week with beautiful weather, friends stopping by, family sharing gifts and fun moments. We had been given so much is it really so bad to give up a few hours for God one day a week? Still grumbling he agreed.

We parked the van, found where everyone needed to be, started singing with the worship band and got ready to be inspired by our Pastor. Part of our message this week was toward our children that even though they might not want to go to church because it is an inconvenience to their day that they live under their parents roof  and if their parents say they are to go they need to obey!! They are to go with no complaints too!! Ha ha!! That was hilarious to me!! You are so on target Pastor Jack!! 

Then there was more of God's wonderful word he was discussing, pointing out just how blessed we are and that we should go to church to offer thanks with others. How in the Bible we are to gather together in worship, sing joyful praises to Him together, and wherever two or more of us are gathered in His name He is there. 

Loving it!!!

That was so God.

Next week shouldn't be a problem!!!!

Hebrews 10:25
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 you see the Day approaching
Luke 4:16
 "He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom."

So pretty much even Jesus went to church...
     if its good enough for Jesus then it should be for us as well.  :)
