Do I Need To Attend Church To Be A Christian?

- Have you ever heard someone say: “Nowhere in the Bible does it command us to go to church.” or “The early Christians never met together in church buildings.” or “You can worship God anywhere, you don’t need a church.” or “Going to church doesn’t save you, Jesus does.” or “As long as I believe in God and live a good life, I don’t need the church.” In today’s study I will address these oft heard statements and discuss whether they are true or false. I will give you a spoiler alert. Some of those statements are actually true!

The way churches are now, it's getting harder and harder to find a theologically sound church.
I have health issues and heavy chronic fatigue, but I watch online and participate.
Fellowship is of importance but not necessary
I love going to Church and fellowship with Brothers and sisters in Christ. I need them, I need their prayers, and I love my Lord.
You love Him?
But you let Him go hungry?
Matthew 25:35-40.
Maybe He Will say to you "depart from Me...."
We are the church 🙏🙏🙏
Where ever one or two are gathered ....... 😊 church
Colossians 1:24
We ARE The Church. Assembling together does not mean a brick and mortar building with a man made title above its doorway. Whenever and wherever two or more gather in the name of Jesus and to honor and worship Him, that IS an assembling together. God bless.
😅😅
Thankyou!!!
I agree... according to the book of Acts, they had home fellowships where they could meet and encourage one another. Sad to say but, many churches(and TV ministries)have turned into businesses that they pass on to their children. And because I choose not to participate at these places does NOT mean I love or disrespect Jesus any less than people that do...
I agree!
No it doesn't. But the temple is important to God because if it wasn't then why would God talk so powerful about building the church edifice in the old testament. And speak so much about building up the people in the church. God said do not forsake the the assembly of the sakes
I was brought up with an old fashioned Christian mother who took us up the road to church every Sunday, Wednesday. We weren't allowed to stay home unless we were sick. We wore dresses every single day. Those were the best years of our life. I knew back then how feeling the presence of God in our little old church. I have been to several churches in the past years and I never felt that. One person wanted to front me about why I wear a mask in church. Yeah! That's right! So anyway I won't be somewhere that I uncomfortable or feeling bad about myself when I have church at my kitchen table. I read my Bible and pray off and on throughout my day,a gift from God when I wake up.
Agree totally!!!!!
Your childhood life sounds like mine. My father was a pastor of a Pentecostal COGIC, and there was no such thing as not going to church. You had to be sick in order to miss it. And even then there were times when my mom brought us to church and
put us (if we were sick) in my father’s office to lay down while the service went on 😅. Now that I am in my 60s it is difficult to find a good church. So I do go online and attend a specific church - ever increasing Faith ministries- but I also look at other RUclips programs and I’m glad I found tiff Shuttlesworth I just subscribed this week. I’m glad for tiff Wigglesworth ministry. Truly thankful for the Lord Jesus Christ.
I have not found a church in my area and I must state, I haven’t given up searching for one .
Until then Pastor Tiff is my spiritual leader and teacher.
Texting from Southern California. Love The Shuttlesworth family.
🙏📖❤️✝️❤️📖🙏
Hi Mary! I am a pastor in Indio, Ca...and my friend and Pastor Michael Webber has a church in Redlands, Ca. Both of us have hosted Pastor Jonathan Shuttlesworth for revival and are connected to The River Church of Tampa, Florida pastored by Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne. If you are not near either of us...We can help you find a good church near you if you'd like. Blessings and praying that you find a good church to fellowship in!!!
I a long time I do not go to church but I tune in to a church
Don't forget the assembling of yourself with each other
Brother Shuttlesworth, as someone who has studied the church for decades, I have to say that this has to be the most balanced teaching on the church I have ever come across on RUclips, or possibly anywhere. I have caught a few others of your teachings, and what comes across to me, is someone who is intimately familiar with the bible and church.
Praise Jesus! Pastor Tiff! I'm going back to church this Sunday! After covid I became a shut in! Not anymore
I'm a catholic by birth and I'm Christian by choice. My husband goes to church every Sunday. I go almost never. The mass is always boring. I never learn anything or find comfort from it. I have learned more about the bible and faith from watching you and a few others. I love Jesus and look forward to his return.
@rebeccawoodbury9611 - Rebecca...... please, Please, Please leave the teachings of the Roman Catholic church. It is not God honoring, God centered or even truth! I know for I was apart of its apostasy, it's lies, it's occult beliefs for way too many years. Then when Christ Himself ran me down, spoke to my heart, graciously saved me upon my repentance, confession and belief..... ( Luke 13:3&5, Romans 10:9-10 ) I am now a true blood-bought, born-again, child of Jehovah God. Then Christ sent me another gift in the man who obediently discipled me in the same manner as that demonstrated by Christ in the gospel narratives of Matthew, Mark, Luke & Iohn. ( Matthew 28:18-20 -) Christ sought me out, gathered me up, changed me and my ways to conform to His and transformed me into His likeness so that I truly may be His. He did that, using a man fully given over to Him and not of this world! Christ discipled me through His already made disciple! That is why, in the book of Acts, The church is referred to as the ( ekklesia or " Called Out Ones " in the original Greek text. ) They gathered in homes, at the hearth, and at dinner tables where they worshipped and made disciples in full obedience to Christ and His command to: " make disciples of all nations " - ( matheteusate ta ethne in the original Greek text. Quite literally " multiply into all ethnicities " or " multiply and fill the earth " ) Then Christ said this: " If you love Me, you will obey My commandments. "..... Well....Do We?
Praise God Rebecca im so happy for you❗❗❗❗❗. I also have many Catholic friends who says excatly THAT!!! MANY ARE NOW TRULY BORN AGAIN. THEY EVEN DONT L LOOK THE SAME ANYMORE ... THEY ARE SHINING. THEY ALSO SAID THEY LEARNED NOTHING FROM MASS ETC...REBECCA KEEP ON LEARNING FROM THIS MINISTRY. I PRAY THAT ALL IS WELL WITH YOU. AND THAT YOU ARE IN GOID HEALTH AS YOUR SOUL PROSPER. IN JESUS NAME. LOVE IN CHRIST HERE FROM SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
The mass is unbiblical. Catholics are cults.
Going to a church which preaches The Word as Pastor teaches I will choose to go with joy and never miss that opportunity of getting closer to God each moment. The Word is so very important it builds my faith.
Thank God for Pastor. Ever grateful.
Nnwèh
Its not the place that matters, its the people. God's church can meet any where . Just pick a location and meet there regularly. Many churches started out in homes and small places, My church did and it grew in numbers to the point where God blessed us with an empty church building to buy. God Bless
That really resonated with me, if you put the stick alone, it goes out. I have isolated myself for a very long time. That is exactly what has happened, my fire went out. I am so thankful for our heavenly father. So grateful for his grace, helping me out of the dark place I was in for many years. 🙏 Praise God
God bless you Pastor Tiff. I attend a Bible believing church, and have for close to 10 years. I love my Pastors, brothers and sisters and moat of all the Lord Jesus Christ. A person can be saved and not attend but if they are physically able and there is a congregation close enough to them they should attend. God bless everyone in Jesus's mighty name! Amen and amen! 😊🕊🔥💖✝️🫂❤️
Thanks 🙏 for sharing the good news, praise our Lord Jesus Christ
Thank you for this teaching, Pastor Tiff. I will continue to pray that God directs me to a church with the fear of God and isn’t a Christian Sunday morning social club.
I believe a physically and mentally able body Christian who does not go to church runs the risk of being self- centered, confused and live a poor spiritual quality of life as a believer. Funny how you dont have to go to the bar to get drunk but they still go to the bar for fellowship! RIsking their life and the lives of others while doing it!! Thank you Evangelist Tiff for a being a. Anointed dependable Biblical source to the Body of Christ.
Totally not true for everyone . As George thorogood sang a song called “ I drink alone” but he still had lots of friends in his group . It was the names of all his alcohols ie. Johnny walker, jack daniels etc.
We are suppose to help one another. We need fellowship in person to keep each other strong and encourage each other in the word. It will not keep us from being Christian. The church can be gathered anywhere. Its not a building. The church is the body of Christ. We are to tithe 10% to the church. I am so happy to hear the truth about what the church is. Your right about so many churches do not teach the word. God bless you Pastor. Keeping the sabbath means to spend that time with the lord. Yes we should go and support the church. We need to gather and pray together. We need each other. We are one people under God our creator.
Thank you for a clear and articulate presentation of the "party line." The true NT church did not have structured, liturgical meetings, or anything like what's offered today which you seem to think we must "attend" in order to live an authentic Christian life. They were highly participatory fellowships, not lectures by "religious experts" or clergy. I believe Christianity is getting stronger in the US but not in numbers. The folks who want a feel-good "TED talk" on Sunday morning, a rock concert or smoke show, a sing-along - all structured and timed - well, good for them. They, like the cowards in most pulpits, are having no impact on the culture. We need to gather purposefully and regularly if at all possible with other believers. We DON'T need to attend a local 501(c)3 Christian community center to see the same program over and over every Sunday morning.
Two or more gathered in my name I'm in the midst of thee.
That verse is so used out of context! Read it for yourself.
Matthew 18:15-20 is about the correction of Christian brothers & sisters who refuse to forgive & reconcile! They were to be treated as pagans & a tax collector! Jesus went on to say so, whenever 2 or 3 of you come together in unity re this matter, God puts His stamp of approval on your Judicial discipline. To the end of the chapter the section is on unforgiveness & God's inability to then forgive you.
I'm a non-denominational Christian who attends home Bible fellowships... whenever someone tells me I have to attend a church in order to be saved or do something else not called for in the Bible, I ask them to show me in the Bible where it says that...
Yes 🙌 absolutely!!! Most of the churches are all a show and want millions of dollars to run their massive buildings….it’s sad
I don’t make my messages on the church and attending church by saying you aren’t a Christian if you don’t go to Church but as I see Hebrews 10:25 “Forsake not the attending of yourself together with others “Even the more as you see the day approaching !😊I love your explaination !❤😊
forsake not the ASSEMBLING of yourselves together.
Read the verse in context. It's not meaning that you must go to an assembly in a building. It's about apostasy...study it out.
Believe we are commanded to meet together corporately as a body. We need fellowship, bible study, and serving one another to help us grow.
@@waitingforchrist Exactly, the point is to always edify one another when you talk and meet with your Christian brothers and sisters....that is "one on one" epecially. Do you get that in a church assrmbly anyhow? No. You sit there and have to listen to the one pulpit pastor and dont question him whatever you do. My Bible teaches me that the greatest in the Kingdom of God is a servant and that pastors/teachers sSHOULD be the most homblest, servants of all.....I could say much more but I'll stop ahead.
@@Lauren-vd4qe Thats not a command from God and not a doctrine because there are not more than 2 or 3 Scriptures commanding that. The principil however is to daily edify your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Excellent teaching! Too many people out there with adverse views about other peoples faith and salvation. I, myself, sadly, forgot about those countries where some Christians have to hide their fellowship in Christ, due to intense persecution! 😢 I wasn't attending church until recently, but am blessed that the Holy Spirit has prompted me to return now ❤
Thank you pastor 4 this lesson I'm South African.. M a woman who grew up in church I fear the Lord, I spend my time reading the bible listening 2 u nd other pastors,listening 2 u makes me grow in my faith.. in a church I grew up in I would encourage the congregation to hv bible studies so that we grow in faith nd the gospel, I understand that the reason y we should attend church is that we must grow in salvation . I left the church I grew up in bcos there were people among leaders who had the spirits of ancestors nd mediums operating inside the church I understand that the spirit of the Lord cannot operate with other spirits nd the people there did not want 2 attend bible studies only one or two would come to attend when we call 4 bible studies so I stopped attending, I went on 2 look 4 another church nd in this church there was no fearing of the Lord among the leadership they misinterpret the word of God they don't know anything abt bible prophecy I asked 4 bible studies church members would agree nd b excited abt it but the leadership stopped the bible study nd they would try by all means 2 hinder the bible study not 2 proceed so I stopped attending church once again. My prayer is that the Lord lead me 2 the church with God fearing leadership people who fully dedicated their lives 2 Christ.
Stay strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus...Sister! Praying for your quest to find other believers who desire to worship and learn of deeper things in Christ. There is a missionary family in Joberg that are from the U.S. that have planted some churches over the years there. Then I have had the great gift and opportunity to work with 3 churches out in the Free States of South Africa in Christianburg, Paul Rue and Bökklecone. The churches are made up predominately of Besotho peoples! Yet, they are God fearing and desire to follow only Christ Jesus! May God and Christ guide you to where you can see them clearly! Be well and be blessed in these days!
Amen, thank you pastor Tiffany 🙏God bless you! I pray for my grandson Anthony, Louis, and the rest of my family to come to the Lord the time is running out please help me to pray for them in the name of Jesus Amen 🙏❤
THANK YOU PASTOR TIFF. GOD BLESS YOU!!! 🇿🇦
If a person is in the body of Christ they are the Church. We don't go to church the Church goes to gather together to worship God. Paul admonished, do not forsake the assembly of yourselves with one another.
My answer is no, but it is going to be incredibly hard to stay committed when not going to church. We need a spiritual authority and we need someone to talk to and have fellowship with other believers.
The Bible says I believe in the book of Hebrews don't forsake other believers or The fellowship of the body we can't grow unless we love one another in in church we can grow personally before God intimately but we definitely need the fellowship of believers
This would be like saying I don't need a key to get into my house if the doors locked I can just go through the window instead! Obviously you need the key! And in this case the key is the church!
FORSACK NOT TO ASEMBLE YOUR SELVES TOGATHER. . WHERE TWO OR MORE ARE.GATHER TOGATHER TO WORSHIP, I ( THE LORD) WILL BE THERE TO OWN AND TO BLESS!!!
Thank you. Your delivery of God's word, and teachings is a blessing to me.
I agree with what u said. I have seen things in churches that need correction. I've learned more on the internet then in Church. No perfect Church thats for sure! I dont trust like I did before. Jealousy among believers, false accusations, lack of integrety, and communication skills etc... !whats happen??You have to be strong to live through this! Sadly this has happened to me. God knows. However, I've learned to remain focused on God not people!. A true Spirit Filled on fire Church where are they! where i live?. I attend 2 different ones. One church i sing in a Praise Team and Soloist, and every other Sunday at a very small Pentecostal Church... In California i did not have the same problems i do now. I am trying to fit in. Maybe God is testing my faith. So different in Georgia. The Joy of the Lord is my strength!😊 i always need prayer. God bless u all!
God bless you pastor.thank you for love in teaching us ❤️🙏
I am allergies to oders perfumes etc. so I watch our church’s on line every Sunday. I really miss attendance but the asthma is terrible.
I can not attend church mainly because of my health. I am diabetic and can hardly walk at all. So I use the internet to watch good ministers such as Tiff here. I pray every day. I worship God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I think there is nothing wrong with going to church of course. But I just can not do it with needed a wheelchair and no stamina at all. Thank you pastor Tiff for your videos! My uncle was a First church of God minister who passed away because of diabetes. I know he is with the Lord. Praise Jesus. Thank you Pastor/ uncle Jack!
Great message brother. It’s shocking but in my area fellow Christians are leaving the Church because they say The Holy Spirit is telling them they are mature and those going to Church are demon possessed. We are definitely seeing the great falling away.
Thank you Pastor Tiff. This is my second sermon from you. I am glad/relief that the you were able to provide the Biblical answer to the above subject title. Amen.
I really needed to hear this today. Thank you Sir. I’m also from Maine. Thank you for all you do Amen
I absolutely love your talks with us and I follow along and take notes too. Not always but I'm trying to do more and better as a child of God .Thank you for getting me back in touch with Jesus !
God bless you Pastor, for your great love and teachings, God loves you. Amen
Don't let the things of the world distract you from going to do what God has called you to do
Thank you Tiff for this wonderful message! I can not live without God or the Church!! It’s Holy, and I love it.🌸🌺🌸
👍❤️ ...
TQ vvvvvvvvvery much Pastor Tiff 🙏❤️ ...
May the good LORD JESUS CHRIST continue to Bless you, your ministry and all yours AMEN AMEN AND AMEN 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙌💐💖
Thanks so much for that teaching 🙏🙏🙏 Gail Thomas from Trinidad 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I thank jesus for this message imbued with his spirit. I am grateful to him for having led this reflection in you with all the discernment necessary to reach all listeners.
I LOVE LISTEN TO YOU TALK ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER IN THE BIBLE ..........PRAY FOR ME
I found you months and months ago it took me a while to figure out the belief of your teaching, but I kept watching and then once I prayed about it the next time I got on RUclips, you are preaching and speaking of the spirit the and the Holy Ghost. There is so many times that I turn on the telly to find someone that I really enjoy watching and I feel that what they are saying is real. I came across you on RUclips and I just kept watching. I felt the spirit that was within you and it keeps leading me back to you, you are my church now I have told several about you and your channel.
It’s hard for me to find a church because I’m in a wheelchair and most churches around don’t have vans that are wheelchair accessible or if for some reason you feel like you’re putting extra pressure on someone because you’re a person with extra needs. I cannot express how much I enjoy watching you and listening to you speak of your Father’s words. I know you are a true man of God because I feel it in My soul/spirit I can see it within you every time you speaking of our Father I have learned so many things from your teaching and the way that you express it as it comes from your heart.♥️
At the end of your videos, I always confess my shortcomings and Give him thanks What are you doing
our father for all the blessings that he has bestowed upon me. I die daily in my prayers and pray for him to make me much stronger in his words. You bring this to me every time I watch a a video of yours. May our father continue blessing you to bring his word to us the ones that are not able to get out and go to church. My prayers to you and your family.🙏🙏🙏
Love your knowledge and thirst of the scripture. Great study. Take care and be blessed
Amen thankyou i needed to hear this.Amen.
A well put together and rounded teaching Evangelist Tiff
I use you as my pastor and am learning so much that I didnt know before. I am 78 years old disabled and have to use shuttle vans where ever I go which is a hard ride for me. There is a church I use to go to but when I became disabled and asked for help it didnt come. I no longer take the van and go there.
New member for your online bible study
Thank you Tiff, for this Bible study
From Petal, Ms. First time to Hear your Word. Thank you,
Hello Brother Tiff I want to say I can not remember ever learning really I learned more from my dad than any church I learned more on Christian radio and RUclips about prophecy sin salvation and learned more I learned to make sure I find a Bible believing Church I found a few that maybe here in my city and I researched them to find out what I can to make sure I am actually learning and growing and just attending church and leave without learning nothing Amen Praise the Lord Jesus because the church is a building where the body of Christ gathers to worship learn pray and support each other growing and I will not tolerate a yoke church
Wow! I’ve really got so much from this one !
Tiff YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT PASTOR THE LORD THROUGH YOU IS POWERFUL LOVE LISTENING TO TRUTH.THANKYOU
You will love prophet Bradley U-tube
Christ and the first believers went to synagogue and held services on Sabbath. There are only churches holding services on Sundays in our area.
This is the most beautifully explained teaching on the church and why we should not abandon her that I’ve ever heard. Logical and yet filled with sincere truth and love. I’m so thankful and grateful for the divine spark that you have on your ministry Brother Tiff. God bless you always. 🙏🏼🙌🏻✝️
You will love prophet Bradley U-tube
Excellent teaching pastor
Thank U Pastor Halleluyaaa 🙏
I praise Jesus for your speaking the truth of the Bible
Yes there is a cost to following Jesus and loving Him and His Church is a delight and a must and you want to be there with other believers.
Thank you so much. You are a blessing. Amen ❤️🙏🙏🙏
God is a spirit he wanted us to be true in worship in praying to him
I'm an umber that's hot blowing in the wind. I burn with strength when landing on a home or person. You can see the light the fire that Jesus Christ has blessed me with
Thank you for taking the time making this video. God Bless you with the wisdom to guide more family like myself. Im a father of 2 toddlers and all honesty I came to your video wrestling with the idea of finding a church 😅
But I realized as a Jesus is the head of the church. I must guide like so this big responsibility of going to church consistently 🙏. Thank you Tiff Shuttlesworth for this video I hope to continue watch more of your content God Bless you.
Awesome pastor. Luv that song at the end. Is it you singing it. It sounds like it. I haven't been to church for 4 years. I stopped for a stupid reason that I gained weight and couldn't fit me church clothes. I know church attendance, reading the Bible and praying regularly doesn't save me but I should be doing them things regardless. Me number one prayer is that my wife and I, my mum and dad are Raptured soon while we are still alive, happy and healthy. Bless ya🙏🙏😎
I like your podcast because it's Bible based, except for the 4th commandments found in Exodus 20. I am a believer of the 10 commandments, that's why I rest on the 7th day and not on the first day. I have read and re-read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and I didn't find anything to prove that Jesus while on earth said that He changed the 7th day to the first as a Holy Dayand when in fact He was going to the synagogue to teach. How I wish your church is a 7th-day Sabbath-keeper. Sending you this message with a prayer that the Holy Spirit will give us wisdom to discern between right and wrong. This message is for you alone coming from me from the bottom of my heart. God bless you.
Paraná God May give everything you need.
Amen I am new , in Jesus name
Yes you need to be there ❤❤❤❤❤❤jesus us there also
Thanks for the teaching !!
My pleasure!
If you're trying to get into your house from your front door you need a key to get in, you're not expected to go through a window to get in your own house the key will get you in, and the key in this case is the church the believer needs the church
Did you just make this up? I never read that before. JESUS is the narrow way, not the church building.
Tiff I watch you on RUclips alot after coming across you when talked about cremation something I'm trying to decide whether be buried in a casket like most of my relatives have been buried for years, still thing what I want to do...Tiff you are a minister I love to listen to on RUclips, I also watch Joel Osteen on Sundays, but now I watch you and wish I could watch you on T.V., you preach what I like to hear from a minister...God bless you Mr Tiff Shouttlesworth...
As genuine Bible preaching churches become few and further between this channel serves as a reminder on how blessed we are to have quality preaching at our fingertips via the internet. For me, the main sticking point with churches is the various stances on secondary doctrines eg application of the Holy Spirit, is the earth around 6000 years old or much older, will Christians be raptured before or during the tribulation etc (I could also add whether a Christian can lose their salvation but that’s bordering on primary doctrine). Whole congregations have split for less reasons. Very challenging preaching here Tiff, but profitable and good nonetheless. I should try harder to look for a Bible preaching church and try not to get involved in discussions on thorny topics!
In all ramifications, church attendance faithfully will not, can never take anyone to heaven. You must be born again.
Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: ans so much more, as ye see the day approaching!
So people living in nuesing homw, Godly people are not christians because they don't have church!!! Tragedy!!!!!!!
My husband and I always stayed in church work. We have traveled many, many miles working for God and singing and playing music for God. We witnessed and testified EVERYWHERE we could. We raised our children and grandchildren in churches. Helped many people, fed many people. Now we cannot go although we live close to the church. He has many injuries and leukemia. I have a leg off. I still try to do all I can. I feel very bad because We cannot do much anymore. How would God look at our doing nothing? It scares me. I cry.
Always praise God. Sing to praise God in your home. Invite others over to join you. Share what you can. God will provide.
Yes, we need.😂We attend to church , after l feel very glad😢God bless to you.
New to your studies from Texas
Thank you Tiff. Well said, and most importantly, Biblical. I have been streaming my church’s services since the beginning of the pandemic. I would like to return to church. But I have a health issue that makes getting sick more challenging and painful. I have a family member that has a serious health issue that could be fatal if exposed to Covid. If those who attend church would implement the Golden Rule when it comes to illness, and stay away from church when they are sick, I could return to church. I miss it.
People don't have to be sick to be carrying viruses, they can be carriers.
Blessings
Going to church is what chased me away originally. I am also now not very social. Plus I am single and I worry that finding a wife would be a motivation to go instead of fellowship. I learn so much watching videos like this
I completely feel you . . . I separated from my spouse 16 months ago and at some point tried to go to church to find community. I stopped after going 3 times because I realised that my attention was on single middle aged men . . . But I am at peace watching online teachers .
We Are The Church
If 2 or 3 are gathered together in my name Jesus said he would be in the mist of us !
Yes 🙏🏽
I attend the local church, and my heart goes out to the handfull that attend this church, I have nothing againt the Pastor, but he does not do a good job. I listen to you and I also watch some of my regulars on TV, I was brought up in church and my grandfather was the minister. I am so disappointed when I leave there on Sunday. I just don't know what to do.
Many attend home churches of like-minded brothers and sisters. Often, because they’ve grown tired of church politics.
“Where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in their midst." -Matthew 18:20
As i,ve said before and will continue to say that We the PPL ARE THE church and JESUS CHRIST IS THE TRUE CHUCH
1st Century churches had fellowship and communion, if we are not going to church we miss many things like Jesus said during the last supper cut the bread into pieces and share ,this is He mentioned about His word of God to share each other whenever we gather together in the presence of God
THE CHURCH of JESUS CHRIST is found in the HEART of Men and Women who Loves Jesus with all their Hearts, soul and strength and their nighbors.
We are not under the law! The sabbath was sat ! And we worship Him daily not just on Sunday! He lives in us!
Can you post the full sermons we see on the shorts please?
I really love those but would like to see the rest of the sermon.
I was kicked out of a local Baptist church for wanting to do acts of repentance, and be baptized in Jesus name. I was accused of trying to earn salvation by works, to leave and not come back.
that is sad.
I’m sorry this happened to you. Unfortunately this is a reason a lot of people don’t attend church.
It sounds very detailed. Wondered what happened?
You don’t have to attend church to be a Christian but the Bible does say do not forsake the gathering of the saints
Pastor Tiff, I've asked before in this small rural town if there is a church bible based and Holy Spirit filled and the response was who's that.
Some who have befriended me are in Bible studies but these folks are gossipers.
I wish you had more content available because I like the way you teach.
I will look into the Bible study online, that sounds wonderful pastor.
@enthusiast1261 - Prayers for God's wisdom and guidance in your situation. Check and see if any of these Bible Studies are offered in your area: Community Bible Study or Bible Study Fellowship. They are independent organizations using a facility of a church or other ministry building. They are non-denominational and teach the pure word of God and followship of Christ alone! Both organizations seek to bring all peoples ( the nations ) into an ever deepening, ever growing relationship with Christ to the Father! ( John 17:3, 15:1-8 ) Praying God and Christ alone direct you and yours in these days! Be well and be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. Worth driving even 40,50,60 miles to attend and participate! Once a week during normal school year! Materials provided!
Don't worry about. Stay in the Word.
I take care of my m 86 year old mother and we where going to church but as her health and mental status She has become more disabled. But We always have tv on different ministry .I would live to go back but with mother she can't be left alone.
I was always curious about Hebrews 10:25 where it says don't forsake the assembling of yourselves. Can you expound that? Thanks.
Gdam pastor Tiff, I've downloaded this "message/teaching" so I can a bit master the content/substance that I may share it to people I may reach out. Tyvm. Pastor, may I let you know that you're my teacher through this media next to Dr. Billy Graham. I'm now 77 years old from the Philippines. Trusting everything in the Lord ❤️
