WHY DO WE GO TO CHURCH?


Me: "Hannah, why do we go to church?"
Hannah: "Because, it is Sunday?"
Me: "Abby, why do we go to church on Sunday?"
Abby: "To sing for Jesus and to worship"
This was our conversation on our way to church this morning.
Today, at www.mobc.org.au, folks gathered to "sing for Jesus" and to worship the One true God. It is a tradition of most Christians around the world to come together on Sunday and worship the Lord. Part of our worship includes singing songs that talk about the Christian faith and God Himself. One of the songs we sang was "Shout To The Lord" written by an Australian Christian singer Darlene Zschech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uMeuhxftiQ.
In the song, Darlene wrote, "...Nothing compares to the promise I have in You." Christians believe that, in Jesus, there is promise of eternal life even after death. One of Jesus' disciples John wrote, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Millions have found this to be true upon their own investigation.
In the afternoon, we went to visit relatives and had a great time in their swimming pool.
When the clock strikes 10:50 tomorrow, Abby will start her first day at OWPS www.oatleywest-p.schools.nsw.edu.au/!
