AND GO TO CHURCH! “SWEET, SWEET SPIRIT” BAPTIST HYMNAL - #328 “There’ s a sweet sweet Spirit in this place and I know that it's the Spirit of the Lord. There are sweet expressions on each face and I know that it's the presence of the Lord. Sweet, Holy Spirit, sweet heavenly dove; Stay right here with us, filling us with your love. And for these blessings we lift our hearts in praise; without a doubt we'll know that we have been revived when we shall leave this place.” I continue this week with the emphasis on the importance of being the church and going to church. Thom Rainer’s 9th reason is . . . GOD GIVES US GREAT JOY WHEN WE SERVE OTHERS THROUGH THE LOCAL CHURCH. Thom says, “For sure, there are some grumpy and miserable church members. They seem to have a common trait. There are things in the church that aren’t going their way. They are not getting their worship style. They are not getting themselves fed. They don’t like the way the pastor does things because it’s not their way. They focus on three people: me, myself, and I. But we can experience incredible joy as we serve others, as we put others before ourselves, as we don’t focus on our own preferences and desires. We experience incredible joy as we serve other church members and those who reside in our community. ” You are the church! I am the church! We are the church! I need you and you need me and all of us need each other! More importantly, we need God‘s Holy Spirit to fill us and help us BE THE CHURCH in this community—and that is accomplished partly by GOING TO CHURCH! Our witness for the Lord during the week is sometimes compromised on the Lord's Day by what we do . . . or fail to do! I will be looking for you this Sunday as we study God’s Word and Worship the Lord! ATTENTION GUITAR PLAYERS!
