Why Should We Go To Church?

Some people say, “If God is everywhere, why should we go to church? Why make the effort to gather with others when we can feel God’s presence anywhere?”

Well, the entire atmosphere is filled with water, but when we are thirsty, we go to a water source because that’s where the water is abundant, pure, and refreshing. It’s the same with church. The atmosphere is filled with God’s presence, but the church is where we come to drink deeply from the well of His Spirit. It’s the source of spiritual nourishment.

When we gather in the church, it’s not just about being in a building. It’s about entering a sanctuary where the Word of God is spoken, where His love is felt, and where His grace flows freely through the sacraments. The sacraments aren’t just rituals but powerful, tangible expressions of God’s grace. When we partake in them, it’s like stepping into a refreshing stream, renewing our soul and deepening our connection with Him.

In our individualistic society, the church reminds us that our faith isn’t meant to be a solitary path but a shared experience. The Church is a communal oasis where we find encouragement, strength, and support from one another. Just like a traveler in the desert who looks for an oasis to rest and replenish, we come to church to find our spiritual nourishment. Here, we grow together, learn together, and worship together.

So let’s embrace the church as more than just a place to visit—it’s our source, our wellspring of life, that offers the living water of our Lord Jesus Christ. Together, we’re refreshed, renewed, and ready to face whatever comes our way, knowing that God’s presence is with us every step of the journey.
