Be Committed To The Church
So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:10)
If it was important for Jesus to identify with the local church and partner with them, don't you think it is important for you, too? Many people, especially in our culture today, are faithful attenders. However, there is no commitment to a particular local church. Commitment is very important to a local church where you live. That is where you do ministry.
A number of people attend many different churches; they go from church to church based upon what they feel at a particular moment. This is almost like saying, “I don't want anyone to catch me in one place all the time, because someone might ask me to do something.”
There is an expectation and presupposition that you will commit to doing something. That’s the basis of a partnership. You bring something to the table; together in that relationship and in that community, you accomplish the will of God in that ministry. We need to realize that God has called us to be actively involved and committed to a local church.
You need to be involved in doing ministry. You need to raise your hand and say, “Pick me, pick me, use me. I'm ready to serve.”

I feel better connected to God and to the people of the church when I am involved in the church ministry
Colossians 3:23-24 what ever you do, work at with all your â¤ï¸ heart,as working for the Lord,not for human masters. ( it is the Lord Christ you are serving )
I love being involved in church because not only are we hearers of God's work
nWe are called to be doers of the word.
Ephesians 1:22-23 NKJV - And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
