“not abandoning our own meetings, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and even more so because you see the day drawing near.”
Hebrews 10:25 NET
Going to church is a very important part in our walk as Christians. Church is a place where we can come to learn and worship along with fellow believers. I find it interesting that some people think they can walk through Christian life never needing to go to church. I've heard some say that, "well, as long as I watch Brother So-and-So on TV, then I am getting all I need to learn." Unfortunately this is a direct contradiction to Hebrews 10:25. Furthermore, church is not only a place to come and learn and worship. If you read the rest of Hebrews 10 :25, it says church is a place where we can encourage others. Unfortunately a lot of people have been hurt by people at the church for a number of reasons. I want to encourage you that if that is your case, don't let that stop you finding a group of believers to be with. God wants us to gather together with believers to encourage each other, to worship together and to learn together. The one thing the enemy really dislikes is when we gather together because there is strength in numbers. Don't allow the lies of the devil to keep you from meeting together with believers. Find a church home and don't abandon meeting together.
Take Away: if you do not have a church home, find one. Don't let the lies of the enemy keep you from gathering together with other believers. If you are afraid or hurt when it comes to going to church, then go to church afraid and hurt, that is really the best place to go to get healing and encouragement.
