Where are we?

 

As Christians, attending the Sunday service with our church family is one of the greatest privileges we have in life. But if we’re not careful, especially with the routine nature of the weekly meeting, we can slide into auto-pilot. This comes with costly results. Without intentionality, we may fail to steward this gift. And as a result, we may underappreciate and even miss the primary way God blesses his people.

 

This may seem pretty obvious, but sometimes the more obvious, the more elusive. You should pray if you want to grow spiritually and get more out of the Sunday church service. Often we don’t have because we don’t ask (James 4:2). Jesus is the one who tells us to ask, seek, and knock (Matthew 7:7). Do you want to grow to be more like Jesus? Then pray and ask God to us the church service to this end. This is his plan (Romans 8:29). And he uses the church to do it (Ephesians 4: 11–16). Pray that God will help you grow in Christlikeness through the ministry of your church.  +P Ken
