Going to church for the first time today
🏡 Local WIN 🏘️
Bit nervous, but glad I am honoring this promise I made to God when I needed his help. Dont think I would have ever done this if I never came here, so thank you guys for your consistent outpour of faith.
Congratulations! Keep in mind that the church is flawed. We are not perfect and every congregation is full of unbelievers who clams to have the spirit. Satan walks about as a lion seeking whom he may devour. If the preacher says something that offends you, be slow to anger as this might be Christ himself speaking. If the preacher is talking about health and wealth and how God wants you to enjoy your best life now, get up and run for the door. I said a small prayer for you that Christ would get the glory, that God gets the focus, and that you will be edified! May his will be done and may you draw near to him. Amen! The gospel is not about what he wants for us rather what we should do for him. Make sure Christ is the focus and God Speed!
Excellent counsel!
Remembering that the church is just full of people - and people are flawed - but don't let that turn you away when you encounter that You eventually will.
You're there to worship and know God. God uses people - especially flawed people (look at the Bible!) to reach other people.
Evaluate everything through the lens of the Bible.
I'm so happy for you @jamezelo.
