Holy Bible:   Acts 2:41-47

 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.  
42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved

Verse:    Acts 2:42           

"And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers"

            Early on a sunny Sunday afternoon after church, I headed out for a walk around  the neighborhood . A man was trimming his grass along the sidewalk, and we greeted each other with the usual “Hello, how are you?” In a negative tone, he replied, “It’s just another Sunday Later”, I wondered what he had meant by that. Was he saying, I’m just doing my chores – going through the motions?

            Sometimes even church attendance can become a matter of  merely going through the motions on just another Sunday. For the believers in the early church (Acts 2: 41-47), joining with fellow believers was a source of excitement. The was when the church first started and everyone was a new believer -  so they were bound to be enthusiastic. But what about us? What can we do make each Sunday special?

            Go with the anticipation of meeting with God. While He is with us all the time (Heb 13:5), God is with us in a unique way as we gather with others who know Him (Matt 18:20, James 4:8), Bring your burdens and praises to Him. 

            Go to learn about God. We may not learn something new every week, but we can always be encouraged by the truths of God’s Word (Ps 119:105). Expect to hear from Him.

            Go to fellowship with others. We need each other in this Christian journey. Encourage others, challenge them in their faith, and pray for them. (Heb 10:24-25)

Lord, give us a renewed enthusiasm of heart for attending church, so that it won’t be just another Sunday – Anne Cetas

Conclusion:   If you want to be spiritually fed, go to church with a hunger for the Word.
