Reason #3 why going to church this Sunday is the best plan:  YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THE PRESENCE OF GOD MORE FULLY.  Sometimes we get so busy with the different aspects of our lives, it seems we can’t see God or hear from God very easily.  That’s not surprising.  But when we gather together in fellowship we are better able to focus on the reality and presence of God.  I believe that’s what Jesus meant when he said in Matthew 18:20… “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst.”  This is a very famous Bible verse with a very important concept.  God hasn’t changed his address… He’s everywhere, all the time.  But when we come together in His name, our experience of Him is greater.  And we certainly need more of God in our lives!  In Acts 2:42-43, the early church believers had this same experience… “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  Everyone was filled with awe…”  Why were they filled with awe?  Because when they came together they could help each other see the amazing, all-consuming glory of God.
