In this episode Breanna and Gabriella share many reasons why people are not attending church today. They discuss the importance of the local church, being a member of a church, and green/ red flags to look for in a church. Scripture mentioned: Church is the place where believers can love one another (1 John 4:12), encourage one another (Hebrews 3:13), “spur” one another to love and good works (Hebrews 10:24), serve one another (Galatians 5:13), instruct one another (Romans 15:14), honor one another (Romans 12:10), and be kind and compassionate to one another (Ephesians 4:32). One anothers: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” ‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭7‬ ‭ESV “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭12‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.” ‭‭James‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace:” ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭4‬:‭10‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭32‬ ESV … and there are so many more. It’s not enough to just attend a church; we should be involved in some type of ministry to others, using the spiritual gifts God has given us (Ephesians 4:11–13).  A believer will never reach full spiritual maturity without having that outlet for his gifts, and we all need the assistance and encouragement of other believers (1 Corinthians 12:21–26).   Church Discipline ““If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭15‬-‭17‬ ‭ESV‬‬ “And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭38‬ ‭ESV‬‬
