Why Don't More People Attend Church?

God has called the Church to share the gospel!
God is the head of all things.
Jesus is the head of the church.

 Remember your accountability to God!

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: - 2 Timothy 4:1

We all struggle with accountability because we are not humble or disciplined.

We live for ourselves, our wants, and our sin is damming us to hell.

 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil. - 2 Corinthians 5:10

Raise your children to respect authority, to be in fear of God's judgement and to know actions have consequences.

Emphasize the Word of God!
Humble yourself before the Lord.

2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. - 2 Timothy 4:2-4

Speak the truth of God.
Obey the word of God and be blessed or ignore it and be cursed.

The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.  - Isaiah 40:8

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. - Matthew 24:35

Preacher preach the Word!
Disciple preach the Word!
Preach it like you believe it!!
Be bold in the Lord!
Preaching the Word of God is not popular with sinners.

Focus on the call of God!

5 As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.
6 For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing. - 2 Timothy 4:5-8

Don't overreact!
Keep your mind in all situations. 

Don't give up!
Endure hardships!
If God is for you who can be against you.

Don't stop!
Keep on keeping on!
Find a church who shares the true gospel!!

Thanks Pastor Kevin!!
