The Core
Hear From God
We HEAR from God as we spend time with Him, either through singing, praying or hearing
something our Pastor or leader is talking about. God likes to give us little bits of wisdom called
revelations. This is when we hear something or feel something that stays in our mind and
heart. Its like when youve got a song stuck in your head and you just cant get it out- hearing
something from God gets stuck in your head, and usually its something that makes us more like
Jesus.
LEARNING about God is something we do by ourselves when we read the bible, or books
written about God. But when we come to church we do this by hearing our Pastors share from
the bible, or hearing other people tell us what they know about God through their own life.
2 Timothy 3:16 says that everything in the scriptures is Gods word and is useful for teaching,
helping people, correcting people and showing them how to live.
God loves us to use the bible to learn about Him, so when we come together at church and
hear someone preaching straight from Gods word, we know that its good for our life!
We dont come to church just because our parents make us, but we come to church because
we know that God has something special He wants to share with us every time we come. We
PRAISE God by singing songs and praying with our church. God loves to hear us sing and be
thankful for what He has given us. David in the book of Psalms knew this about God and wrote
in Psalm 100:4 Enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise. He knew that this was
why we have church.
Coming to church and making new ones, or BEING WITH FRIENDS, is exactly how God wants us
to live and grow as Christians. Imagine how much more fun you have when a friend comes to
your house after school to play, instead of you just going home and playing on the computer
by yourself. God wants us to be people that connect with others, and so loves when we come
to church to worship and celebrate Him together. In Acts 2 we hear the story of the very first
church and how they acted. Verse 46 says that day after day they went to the House of God
together. In their houses they ate food together. Their hearts were happy. Things are always
more fun with friends! Thats how God designed us and is a big part of what He loves about us
coming to church!

5. Church is a place where we can focus on God. What is it about church that
makes this the case?
Pray and thank God for the church He has given you, pray for your pastors/
leaders and for each other. Pray that this would be a year of coming to church
ready to meet God, and to be met by Him.
