If You Don’t Stay Committed to the Church... The Broken Stay Broken

The church has always been a place where the broken can find healing. It’s where marriages are restored, addictions are broken, and identities are rebuilt on the foundation of Christ. But this healing doesn’t happen without people who are committed to creating a welcoming and supportive environment. If you don’t stay committed to the church, the broken stay broken, and the world misses out on the transformative power of Jesus.

In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul writes, “If anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” This transformation is at the heart of the church’s mission. It happens when people encounter the gospel, experience community, and allow God to work through their pain. But this process requires a church filled with people who are willing to walk alongside others in their struggles. Your commitment helps create the kind of church where broken lives can be made whole.

Statistics from Barna reveal that many people come to church for the first time because they’re searching for help during a crisis. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a broken relationship, or a struggle with mental health, people turn to the church when they have nowhere else to go. Your presence and involvement ensure that the church is ready to meet those needs with the love, grace, and truth of Jesus.

When you stay committed to the church, you become part of the solution. You help create spaces for broken people to heal, whether by leading a small group, serving in a care ministry, or simply being a friend to someone in need. The church can only fulfill its mission to the broken when people like you remain engaged and willing to serve.

If you don’t stay committed to the church, the broken stay broken. But when you stay faithful, you help the church become a place of healing, redemption, and restoration. Your commitment makes it possible for others to experience the life-changing power of Jesus—and there’s no greater purpose than that.
