Pastor's Comments
How important is it to be attending your local Church and being a part of the teachings within?
The New Testament repeatedly emphasizes the importance of local assemblies. In fact, it was the pattern of Paul’s ministry to establish local congregations in the cities where he preached the gospel. Hebrews 10:24-25 commands every believer to be a part of such a local body and reveals why this is necessary.
“And let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more, as you see the day drawing near” (Hebrews 10:24-25).
Every believer is to be under the protection and nurture of the leadership of the local church. These godly men can shepherd the believer by encouraging, admonishing, and teaching. Paul gave Timothy special instructions about the public meetings, he said “Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching” (1 Timothy 4:13).
In the day that we live, many members do not take the local church very seriously. It’s sad, but even the leaders are so wrapped up into other activities that the local congregation suffers from the lack of strong leadership commitment and example.
The church needs to get back to setting its priorities in place. The church body can never function properly without people being faithful. The church will never grow and receive the full blessings of God if the lack of true commitment is not an ongoing process. A great reminder for any church is that it will only be as strong as its leaders are.
Active local church membership is imperative to living a life without compromise. It is only through the ministry of the local church that a believer can receive the kind of teaching, accountability, and encouragement that is necessary for him to stand firm in his convictions. God has ordained that the church provide the kind of environment where an uncompromising life can thrive. What kind of example are you setting within the local church that you attend?
