I’ll start with a confession. I never made it to a worship service during the three Sundays I was off this summer. We were traveling out of town, and for various reasons it just didn’t work out. But missing church taught and reminded me of some important reasons that I maintain the practice of going to church. (Yes, I know, it’s my job to go to church, but beyond that…) Over the next few weeks, I’d like to share some important reasons to gather with other Christians regularly. Here’s the first: We need to be reminded of who God is. It’s remarkable how easily we can forget the character of God. As we go through our weeks and months, God can grow more and more distant. As the rigors and challenges of life happen to us and around us, God begins to shrink into a distant deity who maybe keeps an eye on things, but isn’t all that involved. We start believing that we’re alone in this endeavor called life.

Gathering with others who are in Christ is a critical reminder that God is not far off or disinterested. God is near. He is with us and among us. He is directing history and our lives and working all things together for our good. A worship service is designed to remind us of this. It recalibrates our understanding of how the world works. It is God’s world. He is over all. He is present in our lives with his love and providential care. There is a lot to be gained from personal, daily devotions and Christian media. But going to church helps us see this in a more intense and impactful way. Gathering with brothers and sisters in Christ reminds us that we’re not alone in this. In addition to a spiritual family, the sovereign God of the universe is with us.

A group of FCC friends gathered at North Beach Park and were treated to a beautiful sunset and fun music. It reminded us that God is present in his creation, in music, and in his people!

Psychological terms have found their way into everyday language. Words like “boundaries” and “issues” have become part of normal speech. Another term that gets used a lot is “codependence.” Codependence occurs when a person attaches their own mental well-being and value to another person. This happens when we can’t be happy unless our spouse or child or parent is happy. We take on the weight of making sure these people are okay and happy. Our state of mind is tied to the plight of others.

So when the Bible tells us to “rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn” (Romans 12:15), is it asking us to be codependent? Christian community is not at all codependent. Our happiness and joy are not attached to another person, but to God’s promises and goodness. Christian community recognizes that life is hard. Out of love for a sister or brother, we share their tears. Out of a desire to see God’s best for them, we rejoice with them in their growth and achievements. But our happiness is never staked on another human being. Our only comfort lies not in the happiness of someone we love, but in the fact that we belong to Jesus.

I believe pain and suffering are a part of the broken world that we live in.

I believe that, like stars require darkness to be visible in the night sky, joy requires suffering and struggle to become real in our lives.

I believe that there is no sorrow, pain, wound, or tragedy that God cannot and will not redeem.

I believe that God’s power is mostly found at the end of ours.

I believe that the kingdom of God is visible, like the glow of the eastern sky before dawn.

I believe a life lived for that kingdom is far fuller than a life lived for oneself.

I believe that the little things make a difference and that even the smallest act of kindness ripples into eternity.

I believe that each one of us was created for such a time as this.

This coming Sunday we will celebrate the Lord’s Supper. We invite anyone who has a saving relationship with Jesus to participate by taking a small piece of bread and a swallow of juice in a tiny cup. We are called to prepare ourselves to receive communion. The Bible warns against taking the body and blood in an unworthy manner. And so we have often used the week prior to communion as a time to take an inventory of our lives and assess them against God’s will. Unfortunately, this has left the impression that a Christian needs to be good enough to receive communion. If there is sin in our lives that we aren’t addressing or if we haven’t lived up to biblical standards, we are disqualified from taking the Lord’s Supper.

But this is all backwards! Communion isn’t a sacrament just for obedient people who are living at the center of God’s will. It is a sacrament for sinful, disobedient people who are grieved by their failures or are even unaware of them. Communion is for people who don’t feel worthy to receive it. It is a sacrament for people too dense to understand all the ways they fail. We are invited to the meal completely by the grace of the One who provides it. This is the irony of communion: we are the most qualified to receive it when we realize how unqualified we are to receive it. So come to the table! Taste the glory of a gift that you aren’t worthy of, but are given anyway!

As summer begins to give way to a new school year, many of us feel the shift in our routines. The days seem to move a little faster, calendars begin to fill up, and families start preparing for what's ahead. Season changes remind us that life is always moving, but God remains steady through it all. In every new schedule, every new classroom, and every new responsibility, the Lord is present and faithful.

As we step into this next season, we can hold onto the promise of Proverbs 3:5-6: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding in all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Whether we are getting every moment from the slower pace of summer or have started gearing up for school, God is still at work in our lives. May He give us peace for the transitions, wisdom for the days ahead, and grace to trust Him in every season.
