Title: Go To Church

Series: W1N

Icebreaker: What is a tradition you share with your family (Ex: reunions, holiday traditions, etc.)?

Read Hebrews 10:25 

Bishop continued his series W1N this past Sunday with a message on the importance of attending church. 

• Why is church attendance important to you? 

I. Church Is A Family

Read 1 Corinthians 12:12 & 27 and Ephesians 2:19 

Commentary: The body of Christ (the church) is made up of individuals that work and grow together. 

• How does this make the church like a family? 

II. Church is filled with Humans

Read 1 Corinthians 12:27 

• How does remembering that the church is a family made up of humans improve our church experience? 

III. You Need the Church

Read Psalms 92:13-14 

• Why do you need a church family? 

Commentary: Bishop mentioned a number of reasons that might help with discussion: 

To be accountable; To belong to a group that knows you and cares about you; To be corrected; To participate and serve; To be loved 

IV. The Church Needs You 

Read Ephesians 4:15-16 

• In what ways does the church need you? 
• How can you/do you contribute to the growth and strengthening of the church? 

V. Go to Church

Read Matthew 18:20 

Commentary: The church is more than a building, and more than a gathering of people. It is an assembly of Believers gathering to worship Jesus. 

• What do you miss watching online rather than attending in person?
