What Is the Most Important Day of Your Week?
Scriptures: Psalms 66, James 5, Psalms 55, 1 John 3, Luke 11
Why Are You Here?
What is the most important day of your week?
That question reveals more than your schedule—it reveals your priorities.
You must understand why you are here (at church).
For some people, being at church is not important. They attend out of habit, convenience, or pressure—not conviction.
So ask yourself honestly:
Are you coming to bring the praise?
Or are you just showing up physically while your heart is somewhere else?
It is a BLESSING and a PRIVILEGE for you to be at church.
Not everyone has the opportunity.
Not everyone has the desire.
And not everyone values it.
Which leads to another hard question:
Are you wasting your time? Are you wasting your youth? Are you wasting your talents?
Make God’s Praise Glorious
Psalms 66 gives a clear command:
Make God’s praise glorious.
Praise is not passive.
Praise is intentional.
Praise is offered, not assumed.
And don’t wait for something tragic to happen to finally come to the Lord. Many people only get serious about God when life breaks them—but obedience should not be driven by fear.
Pray Instead of Complaining
James 5 is direct and necessary:
If you are having problems, PRAY about it and stop COMPLAINING about it.
Complaining drains faith.
Prayer strengthens it.
And ask yourself this uncomfortable question:
Why does your “sorry” take a lot less time than your “sin”?
True repentance is not quick words—it’s changed direction.
Repentance Changes How You Think
Psalms 55 and 1 John 3 remind us that repentance goes deeper than emotion:
Repenting also involves changing your way of thinking.
When you love someone, you don’t just feel something—you act on it.
When you love, you think about ways to invest time into people—even when it involves things you do not naturally like to do.
Love costs time.
Love costs comfort.
Love costs preference.
Who Decided You Were a Christian?
Luke 11 pushes us to examine our spiritual identity:
If you don’t make Christian decisions, then who decided that you were a Christian?
Christianity is not inherited.
It is not assumed.
It is not declared once and ignored afterward.
It is proven by choices—daily, consistently, intentionally.
Challenge
Decide what day truly matters most in your week—and why.
Come to church prepared to bring praise, not just receive information.
Stop wasting what God has entrusted to you.
Replace complaining with prayer.
Let repentance reshape your thinking.
Invest your time where your love claims to be.
Make Christian decisions that reflect a Christian identity.
