SCRIPTURE

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”
“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”
Then He asked them, “But who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because My Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being. Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build My church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.

Matthew 16:13-18

“So let everyone in Israel know for certain that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, to be both Lord and Messiah!”
Peter’s words pierced their hearts, and they said to him and to the other apostles, “Brothers, what should we do?”
Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. This promise is to you, to your children, and to those far away—all who have been called by the Lord our God.” Then Peter continued preaching for a long time, strongly urging all his listeners, “Save yourselves from this crooked generation!”

Those who believed what Peter said were baptized and added to the church that day—about 3,000 in all. All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.

Acts 2:36-47

On my flight back from Florida Thursday afternoon, I sat next to an Amish woman who was returning from Sarasota to her home halfway between Berlin and Mount Hope. And I asked her about the church she attends. And she was telling me that everyone in the community attends worship.
“Everybody?”
“Unless they are too sick to come or are away traveling like I was this past week, yes, everyone attends every Sunday.”
And I asked, “Are you folks required to attend worship and if you miss are there any consequences?”
And she said, “No we are not required to attend. Why would we be required? Being able to gather with my brothers and sisters in Christ to worship the Lord is very precious to me.”
And I said, “Can I quote you on that?”
And she looked a little confused and asked why I would want to do that.
And I said, “Because I know there are some folks who attend CrossPointe Community Church in Chippewa Lake who feel the same way.”
