Did I say that fellowship was the primary purpose of church?
You can walk with the Lord all day long, if you wish. That is what Paul taught us to do (1 Thess 5:17).
Once a month at our church. I liked once every three months in the church I grew up in. Made it more special, I thought. Some would argue that if you weren't in town that day, six months was a long wait.Of course you can but you can only receive the Body and Blood of Christ in one place

To be the body of Christ.What is the purpose of the church? Does it have multiple purposes?
My mother's Episcopal Church had Communion weekly. Communion and short sermon - I liked that.We, as most Liturgical Churches do, take the Holy Eucharist weekly. If we met everyday we would partake of the Holy Eucharist than too. For me that is the best part of Mass when the Priest blesses the elements and the Real Presence of Christ is in the elements
I have learned that repentance transforms a life. I would expect that to be preached from the pulpit. I don't think it is. It makes me wonder what the value is of a sermon. I think the value of the church lies in other areas - fellowship, Sunday school, mission, etc.
Depends on if there is any truth in the lives of the ones present? OR, as Jesus said to His disciples,Yes I often think if a non Christian came into the church shouldn't they be told of this?
Would they be any the wiser when they left?
One would hope so
Hopefully.
Truth.I'm positive going to church orients one to head in the right direction. Because we experience the happiness of worshiping God. What more can a person ask for?
My medical insurance company just had me see a nurse to check me out. Part of the process was to send some electric shocks through my ankle. Perhaps that would help wake you up.I'm positive going to church orients one to head in the right direction. Because we experience the happiness of worshiping God. What more can a person ask for? Today, is Monday morning but I am ready to face the day even though my eyes close as I type.
