Why Do You Go To A Megachurch

Why Do You Go To A Megachurch?

People always ask me why I go to a “Mega Church” 

I don't consider it a mega church even though most would. It was where God planted me. When I was ready to take my own life God intervened. When I lay on the floor praying for his help. The next day I walked into work playing my favorite gospel artist and a coworker who hardly spoke to me told me this was her praise leader and that I should come to her church and hear him. This was God showing me a road to take. It was there that week after week I cried as I listened to the word. I was broken and I needed help. In this place, I met someone who was hurting as much as I was and we became fast friends. This was all in God's plan. This was a place that healed my soul. It was a place where I volunteered for anything and everything because I was so grateful for this church and my church family. I wanted to give back, I wanted to be part of something bigger than me and my problems. 

By doing this not only did I meet friends but I grew to know everyone at this “mega-church”. I greeted people, I worked on the singles committee, and I went on trips with the church. I immersed myself and so it felt more like a family than a mega church. 

I've also been church hurt at this church but I had to realize this was by people. I learned that just because you come to church doesn't mean you're Christian. Just like sitting in a garage doesn't make you a car. So, yes, people will hurt you. But you must pray and know that this is where God has planted you. I've seen people come and go, I've come and left but something pulls me back here. And I will listen until God places me somewhere else.

So today my friends, I'm here to tell you that it is up to you. If you only come to church on holidays or just on Sundays and don't involve yourself in the church or the people then yes, it will seem like a mega church. But if you give of yourself and become involved then it will become your church family.

Like I say at the end of every blog only you can be the change you want to see.
