Many people say, “I’m going to church.”

That wording suggests that the church is a building.

To me, it would be more accurate to say, “I’m going to be with my church as we worship and serve together.”

The church is comprised of people. 

  • The church is Christ’s body, Eph 1:22-23. 
  • When we read passages that use the metaphor of the church as a building, it’s still clear that it’s about people, Eph 2:18-22. Even if you had no building to share, you would still be a church. 

I’m praying that you are often with your church to worship and serve God as you encourage one another and hold one another accountable to Christ, Heb 10:24-25. 

Rejoice in being part of His body.

    Yup, church is fellowship with fellow believers. It’s a fueling station for all us sinners!

      I’ve never heard it called a fueling station. I like the analogy. Did you create the expression? If I use it, I want to give you credit :-).

        I can’t imagine I didn’t hear or read it somewhere… don’t know.
