REVIVAL WILL BRING BACK A PRIORITY OF THE LOCAL CHURCH.

The living Church, though never neat, keeps God's world from complete disaster. -Macleod

“…even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;” Ephesians 5:25

GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH! Your life depends on it! Your family’s life depends on it. Your friends’ life depends on it. The entire world depends on you going to the local church. No, not the church building itself but the living church of God! It’s really not the church itself, it’s Who is in the Church—Jesus! He is your answer! He is your family’s answer! He is your friends’ answer! He is the world’s answer!

Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.—Acts 20:28

GO TO CHURCH!

It is not the possession of extraordinary gifts that makes extraordinary usefulness, but the dedication of what we have to the service of God. –Robertson

With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men: Ephesians 6:7

What do you have to serve the Lord with today? Is it your time? GET UP, GET READY, AND GO TO CHURCH! Is it your talents? GET UP, GET READY, AND GO TO CHURCH! Is it your treasures? GET UP, GET READY, AND GO TO CHURCH!

I hope you saw a theme in that last paragraph! If you didn’t- boy you are blind, you can’t read, or you just have a huge problem with reading comprehension! Not to be mean or nothing but the value in church attendance cannot be labeled with any dollar value! The value of going to church will only be measured out in eternity!

So friend, let me say it one more time: GET UP, GET READY, AND GO TO CHURCH today! Your life depends on it! Your family’s life depends on it! And so many more that you may never know this side of eternity! Amen!

TIME TO MULTIPLY THE CHURCHES

The day is short, the labor long, the workers are idle, and reward is great, and the Master is urgent. -Talmud

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:19

As we see in the Book of Acts, there is a huge change going on in the first few chapters. People are getting saved! In one verse it says, “And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women”. (Acts 5:14) But what jumps off the page to me is in Acts 9:31, Luke shares with us that God multiplied the churches! “Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.”

If He did it then… He can do it now!

Rise up Christian Soldiers! Proclaim the name above all other names! Proclaim Jesus to this lost, dying, and hurting world! If we lift Him up, He will draw all men unto Himself! Amen!

I LOVE CHURCH!

If you’re in the Word, you’ll be in church.—R.L Conyers

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; Ephesians 5:25

I am amazed at the number of Christians skipping church for one reason or another. I understand if someone has health issues or maybe even have to work. But just to skip the time God has given so you can catch up on your favorite TV show, catch a few winks, or surf the net shows a lack of respect for what God holds in high regard.

Child of God, I’m tired, wore out, beat down, depressed to a degree, but you know what I’m going to do this morning? I’m going to GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH! Why? Because Jesus gave Himself for you and I to be able to get together and get the help we need—in church! So why don't you?

GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH!

Church— a sanctuary for the weary soul.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

The days are long, the nights are longer. You have hit the rock bottom in a world that just doesn’t care. Where do you turn? Where do you go? You go to the ever abiding Solid Rock—Jesus! Take your weary soul to church this morning and get the rest you are looking for. Quit trying everything else and go to the only place where you will find help—church!

JUST GO!

GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO THE LOST, DYING, and HURTING WORLD with the GOSPEL! 

Missions- not just a program but it is the program of the church!- Dr. Don Sisk

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:15

What keeps you from telling your co-workers about Jesus? What’s stopping you from telling your best friend Jesus Saved you? Why will you not tell the cashier about Jesus? Are you ashamed? 

Let me remind you of 1 verse from last night's message:

“In thee, O Lord , do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.” PSALM 31:1

GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH!

I’m tired too but let’s go to church!

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9

It’s been a long week! Working a regular job, mission conference Wednesday thru Friday, Church dinner yesterday, but you know where I’m going to be at this morning…IN CHURCH! Why? I want to worship my Lord and Saviour! I want to sing songs of Zion! I want to see Him work in someone’s life. I want to see someone saved! I don’t want to miss church!

Are you going this morning? If not, why not? If so, go prayed up, confessed up, ready for Him to work in your life!
