I’m sure this never happens in your house, but in our house there are some weeks where I’ve heard my kids ask, “do we HAVE to go to church today?” And it’s not that they don’t love our church, it’s just that some weeks they wake up tired or with other plans in mind for that day.

Well, whenever they ask, our answer is always, “we don’t HAVE to go to church, we GET to go to church today.”

So we GET to go to church, not because we HAVE to, but because we WANT to. And that’s what I want to remind us of today. But there might come a day where you’re tired or have other plans and so we wrote a fun song for you to sing on those days…..

“I want to go to church. I want to go to church. The Bible will be taught to me, I want to go to church.

I want to go to church. God’s people will be there. It is good for me to see God’s people everywhere.”

Hebrews 10:25 says, “let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”
