6 Reasons To Sit in a Different Seat at Church This Weekend

I know some readers won’t like this post. Most of us have a habit of sitting in church in the same place on Sunday, and I realize that nobody else is calling for changing this pattern. Nevertheless, I press on with my reasons that you and I should sit in a different place at church this weekend.

6 Reasons to Sit in a Different Seat at Church This Weekend

1. Most of us get too comfortable at church on Sunday in general.

We develop all kinds of habits, like parking in the same area, going in the same door, following the same route to our small group room, sitting in the same place, and often going to the same restaurants after the service. Nothing changes—including, frankly, the depth of our walk with God. We also don’t expect God to do anything different when we gather, and we then get what we expected.

2. You’ll get to know different people.

You might already know everybody in your church, but sitting among different people will give you opportunity to get to know somebody more deeply. If you don’t know everybody, moving your seat will allow you to know somebody new. You’ll appreciate better the Body of Christ.
