Why is it important to go to church?
Origin Youth Camp
Brayden and Tim are on the podcast this week to discuss a question that Brayden was posed at Bible college - Why is it important to go to church? In Australia, a churchgoer is considered regular when they attend once every four weeks.
When we are able to attend church regularly and work together in a community, everyone benefits. It may also be an attractive proposition to those who don't go church. As the guys discuss, if we understand what is for, then we are much more likely to be there.
Do we miss church when we can't make it? Does it cost us? How embedded into the community are you, and what stops us from being amongst the community?
