Why You Should Join Us This Sunday—No Matter What Happened Saturday
Scriptural Foundation:
- “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God…” – Exodus 20:8-10 (KJV)
- “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another…” – Hebrews 10:25 (KJV)
- “This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” – Psalm 118:24 (KJV)
Four Common “Saturday Decisions” That Try to Cancel Sunday Worship:
- Late Night Entertainment – Staying out late or binge-watching TV leads to oversleeping.
Reason to come anyway: God will restore your strength—“They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength…” (Isaiah 40:31 KJV) - Last-Minute Errands and Events – Planning gatherings, sports, or shopping that go into the night.
Reason to come anyway: Prioritize what’s eternal—“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness…” (Matthew 6:33 KJV) - Overindulgence or Partying – Making choices inconsistent with spiritual renewal.
Reason to come anyway: God still calls you—“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD…” (Isaiah 1:18 KJV) - Mental Exhaustion and Discouragement – Deciding to “take a break” from spiritual responsibilities.
Reason to come anyway: Church revives your soul—“He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness…” (Psalm 23:3 KJV)
Why Church on Sunday Is Better Than Staying Home
- It’s your reset. The Word of God realigns your heart, mind, and purpose for the week.
- It’s your refuge. In the sanctuary, you receive peace and clarity. “Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.” (Psalm 73:17 KJV)
- It’s your recharge. The presence of God and fellowship with believers empowers you to live holy and bold.
- It’s your reasonable service. Worship honors the Lord for His goodness and mercy.
Final Encouragement:
No matter how your Saturday ended, your Sunday can begin with worship. Don’t let the enemy steal your encounter with God. Be present. Be faithful. Be filled.
You are welcome here. Come grow with us.
