The Purpose of Church
In our spiritual journey, we often overlook the significance of the church. The church serves as a source of inspiration, revelation, and integration, which is essential for our faith, building community, and maintaining spiritual accountability. In "The Purpose Of Church," Duane Sheriff teaches that attending church isn't just a religious obligation, but a divine commandment and offers ten compelling reasons to be actively involved in a local church.
The key scripture, Hebrews 10:24-25, reveals that the church is part of God's divine plan and emphasizes the importance of gathering together. Church is a place of inspiration, revelation, and transformation—a spiritual ecosystem where we're nurtured and equipped. Just as a plant needs to be firmly rooted to flourish, we too need to be 'planted' in a church to thrive in our faith. Attending church is not a burden, but as a blessing - a place where we're covered, protected, and prepared for the challenges of life.
