Re: Reason for Church Services
To worship God, first of all. By gathering in his name and with his Spirit we join the Heavenly Worship now in progress. We offer sacrifices and offerings to God (our praises and our prayers) and we bless his holy name.
In addition to this, meeting together is for the building up of his Temple (his people) including ministry from one to another, so that God speaks to us, by speaking through us, for instruction, comfort, admonition, etc.
It's for him and we benefit. In short, we have fellowship with God.
If you're at the point where you are wondering "what's the point of it all?" then you are obviously dissatisfied. Therefore God is wanting you go deeper into his Word and become more Biblical in your worship. Seek God's direction and he will provide.
Remember, the church participates in the Heavenly worship, so the more in line we are with that heavenly service the more Biblical our worship will be, and the more the church's proper functions will be fulfilled.
