Growth With Other Believers.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you are new to the faith or have walked with God for some time, everyone can keep growing. Going to church allows you to grow with other people that may be going through the very things that you\u2019re going through. Where two or more are gathered, Jesus assures us He is there (Matthew 18:20).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">2. Relationships Through Community.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Community groups, small groups, life groups, whatever you call them, are vital. Getting together with other believers outside of your normal church service is beneficial in your everyday life. They are a mid-week reminder of all the things God is doing in your life as well as the lives of those around you. Crafting relationships with other people in a similar stage of life as you are creates strong friendships and reminds you that you\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">3. The Ability to Meet People With a Similar Mindset.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Your friends matter. They will either strengthen you in your relationship with God or discourage it. They will encourage you to be a better friend\/spouse\/co-worker or make that harder.No matter how much time you spend by yourself, God created humans to be together. Being alone when you need it is fine, but keeping yourself open to the idea of meeting new people can bring so many strong and new relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">4. Opportunities to Serve.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">You were given talents by God. Some people work well with a hammer and some excel at singing on stage. No matter what talent or gift you are given, the church can benefit from it. If nothing else, start a small group! You never know when you\u2019ll find someone else with interests or gifts similar to yours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">5. Exactly What You Need, When You Need it.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Many times, I\u2019ve found myself sitting in a sermon that highlighted exactly what I needed to hear. I\u2019ve also heard plenty of examples of a sermon giving someone just the encouragement that they needed to get through a challenging time in their life.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.
