The Joy of Attendance Mike Mazzalongo BibleTalk.TV

Year 2000

Year 2012

Romans 10:17 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

My Goal is Motivation Not Guilt

The Joy of Attending Church 1.The Joy of Obedience.

Luke 4:16 16 And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

Hebrews 10: and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

The Joy of Attending Church The reasons we use to skip Bible Class or Wednesday services are never supplied by God or His Word.

The Joy of Attending Church 1.The Joy of Obedience. 2.The Joy of Confessing Christ.

I Cor. 11:26 26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

Matthew 10:32 32 “Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.

The Joy of Attending Church 1.The Joy of Obedience. 2.The Joy of Confessing Christ. 3.The Joy of Helping Others.

I Cor. 16:1-2 Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I directed the churches of Galatia, so do you also. 2 On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

Acts 20:35 35 In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”

Imagine Jesus Counting the Collection!

The Joy of Attending Church 1.The Joy of Obedience. 2.The Joy of Confessing Christ. 3.The Joy of Helping Others. 4.The Joy of Knowing God Intimately.

Eph. 1:17 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.

John 17:3 3 This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.

John 6:63 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

Acts 2:42 42 They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Cutting Back Church Attendance Doesn’t Improve Your Life.

The Joy of Attending Church 1.The Joy of Obedience. 2.The Joy of Confessing Christ. 3.The Joy of Helping Others. 4.The Joy of Knowing God Intimately. 5.The Joy of Fellowship.

Acts 2:42; They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 46 Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord was adding to their number day by day those who were being saved.

The Joy of Attending Church In this world there’s no closer place to heaven than right here in the church.

Matthew 18:20 20 For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”

The Joy of Attending Church “Is it a sin if I don’t come?” “Do I have to come to every service?”

The Joy of Attending Church This question reveals a lukewarm attitude.

The Joy of Attending Church Your attitude towards the church is a mirror of your attitude towards God.

Luke 8: And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd. 20 And it was reported to Him, “Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, wishing to see You.” 21 But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

Matthew 6:33 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

A Better Question: “What can I do to make my church attendance more joyful?”
