 Why do we need church family?

Matthew 22:37-39
 Several Reasons why people go to church:

(1) Tradition

(2) Habit

(3) Guilt

 Home means an enjoyable, happy place where you can live, laugh, and learn. It’s somewhere
where you are loved, respected, and cared for.
 Home is where we feel comfortable to be vulnerable.
 John 3:3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are
born again.”
 “A church is not a place nor an event I go to, it is where I belong to”
 Acts 2:41-42 “Those who believed… were baptized and added to the church…They joined with
the other believers and committed themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to the fellowship…
They worshipped together regularly at the Temple courts and met in small groups in homes for
communion, and shared meals with great joy and thankfulness.”
 Church is a group of baptized believers who joined together for the purpose of helping each
other fulfill God’s purposes for their lives.
 1. Church family will help you center your life around God
 Worship is our first purpose in our life.
 Philippians 4:7 said - Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming
together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ
displaces worry at the center of your life.
 Matthew 22:37 - 37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 
 2. Church Family will help you to love others
 Matthew 22:39 - And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
 God gave us the privilege to be born again that’s why we have to admit that the person that sits
beside you probably is a member of God’s family.
 3. We need Church Family to prepare us to serve God.
 Service = Ministry

Conclusion:

 We may be different from each other but we all have a common denominator that makes us a
family-that is Jesus.
