Church!

For Sunday, November 7, 2021

Matthew 12:9 TLB: “Then Jesus went over to the synagogue.”

A synagogue is a meeting place, a place of assembly for observant Jews. It’s a lot like our ‘church’ nowadays. It was the Sabbath, so of course Jesus went there. Taking time to worship the Lord on the Sabbath wasn’t optional! God ordained the practice in #4 of the 10 Commandments given through Moses on Mt. Sinai.

Therefore each of us needs to make a decision to associate with a community of Christians! If a church is working right, people should share bi-directional unconditional love, the same kind of love that Jesus has for us. The church is home-base for your Holy family – it becomes your 2nd home, and home is where when you go there, they have to let you in. Everyone is welcome – everyone is accepted – everyone fits in, because – once you’re a believer, you’re a child of God – so we’re all family!

It’s Sunday – see you at church!
