Stir Another Up

Why come to church? After all, we often say something that’s absolutely true: there’s nothing you can do to make God love you more, and nothing you can do to make God love you less - that includes coming to church. God’s love isn’t earned by attendance, and His grace isn’t dependent on showing up. And yet, the writer of Hebrews urges us, “Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together…” (Hebrews 10:24–25, ESV).

That encouragement isn’t about earning favor with God. It’s about our good. We need one another. We need encouragement. We need to be reminded of the gospel, especially when life gets busy, distracting, or heavy. When we give in to the distractions that keep us away, we don’t lose God’s love, but we do miss out. We miss being stirred toward love and good works, and we miss the encouragement we didn’t even know we needed.

So don’t neglect meeting together tomorrow. Not out of obligation, but because it’s good for you! Join us at 10am as we continue our series "Different on Purpose."

See you soon!
