OWEN
Good morning! I am Owen Weddle, Associate Pastor at Central.
Why is it that Christians go to church? Some might say it is to worship. And there is some truth to that. But people can worship in private. There is a much deeper reason why going to church is essential. Hebrews 10:24-25 says: “Let us think how to stimulate each other to love and good works. Do not neglect to meet together as some habitually do. Instead, encourage each other, even more so as you see the Day approaching.” Going to church is about encouraging and lifting each other up.
It can be hard to care for others when our jobs can put strenuous demands on us and we see all the evil in the news. We can't love by ourselves, but we need each other to love others. The hope is in going to church, we come to be encouraged.
While this is not the case at all places, unfortunately, there are many congregations that do encourage each other. If you don't have a church home or have been burned by churches, I encourage you to come to Central at either 8:30 or 10:55 on Sunday mornings.
May God bless you!
