Exactly why we should go to church

I don't really go to church for a few reasons. a lot of churches nowadays seem to be corrupted or teach false things, I am shy and introverted and don't find much joy in talking to people outside of my family or circle of friends, and also my parents don't go to church anymore for similar reasons. we love and serve God to the best we can but we just cant seem to find a church that is normal and truthful and is not judgemental

@@a-a-rondavis9438 It's more than coincidental that I'm reading your comment today; just this afternoon, a street preacher (KZreadr) wrote me that he's part of a church group that meets in people's homes. I rather like the idea of a house church and will try to find one. (I suspect that they're scarce in my well-populated area. By me, it seems that people rely on organizational church bodies; like organizational churches in reidp646's area, those by me tend to be more progressive or, at least, more secularized when it comes to certain things.) I'm not sure that I have it in me to start a home church; I, at least, will perform a diligent search for an existing one and see what I find. (Living in a highly populated area can be akin to living in a desert; it's hard to find both non-"progressive" churches and house churches.)

i have trouble going to church because i am too shy to talk with anyone and just cant pay attention. i hate being in crowded spaces too. i still go bc my parents force me to (i am 12) but when i am forced to go somewhere, i dont like it. same as school.

I haven't been to church in years, but I kinda feel the same way. Young adults or early 20 somethings that go to church are usually goofballs or just simply don't know enough about their faith to produce a worthwhile conversation, and I don't have time to waste on people that don't interest me. I just have such a unique set of personality traits that make it difficult to be very sociable. Had social circles and friends/acquaintances across different groups of people in high school despite being an introvert, but the adult world is different. I have such a low social battery in the first place, and that means getting annoyed easily at people that don't click with me. I still don't feel a real pull to go to my local church that we've been to off and on for many years.

I have this same issue but I learned recently in a Tony Evans sermon that if you want something then give something to get it back in return. This means putting effort into connecting to someone in the church with the same issue as you in hopes that God sees your service to provide you a support system you can engage with. I've made it my mission to seek to serve others rather than have others serve my needs. I hope this helps and encourages you all. God bless!

I get how you feel. My advice: stop focusing on groups. Start small. Look for people at church who are alone or single. Try to connect with them. Maybe ask them to go to lunch after church or organize a night out for the singles at church. Another great way to get to know people is through serving. Look for a ministry you're interested in, like greeting people, the nursery, the audio dept. That helped me to get to know people as well. Give it some time and pray to the Lord for guidance. Maybe He has you at that church for a specific reason. If not, ask Him to guide you to the right church. Whatever you do, don't give up un church. Just find the right one.

My question to that church and to your thought (which was likely ingrained by your church) is as to why socializing is an expectation placed upon an anti-social person as opposed to the guys who like socializing? Why are those socializing not reaching out more to those that are not connected or simply don't enjoy socializing? I ask this because in my time visiting different churches, I was either the one that was antisocial or I was the only one reaching out to those that "don't fit in". I don't think the church would recognize or accept Jesus when He comes back. I think they would reject a Christ who would forgive even the worst sinners (these "Christians" don't want the worst of sinners to be forgiven). Let us be different, always remembering the how endless the mercy of our Father was demonstrated to be when He sent Jesus to die for us.

Hi there! I just wanted for you to know that You are AMAZING and are loved by Jesus, religious or not. Have a GREAT DAY! 😎🙂 “ Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.””

@@thekid6244 Catholicism has DEEP roots in demonic worship. On the contrary, I don't consider myself "Protestant". The whole basis behind "confession", needing to talk about your sin and business to another man who can't do anything for you, and they justify their "absolving of sins" complex by a verse in the Bible where Jesus was talking to the disciples. Only Jesus Christ needs to hear about your problems and humble yourself so you can give those to Him, and Jesus is the only One to absolve you of your sins, not man. The Catholics' reverence for Mary is disgusting and it's idol worship. The churches have statues, idols, and images of gods and people that you are told to worship. The priests are the ones to interpret the Bible, not the actual followers. Just like Mormonism, which is also highly demonic. The fact that you have to "be perfect" and "not sin" so that you can work your way to Heaven is legalism and religion. It's demonic. We are saved by grace, not works. I can keep going about how Catholicism is in the pocket of Satan himself, and I will only follow Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, not a church, and not a human.

Church is bride of Christ. If we want to be caught up in coming of Lord Jesus Christ the bride groom , the bride need to get ready . Church is a place of worship that make us ready. ,

My church lack of people to serve, so every time when I go to church I was defaulted to be helping out to serve. So I will come earlier than everyone to prepare and go later than everyone when I'm cleaning up. There was simply no time to connect with anyone for the duration of the service. After over the years, I felt even more disconnected from god and people of church. I'm am doing my best to connect with people outside of church and worship god by myself. Currently I'm thinking do I still need to go to church when most of the connection and worship is done outside service?
