ASSEMBLY AND WORSHIP

Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching (Hebrews 10:25). 

Perhaps many of us ask, "Why should we be faithful to worship? Why should we assemble together? Why can’t we pray in our own home, meditate on God's Word, and praise God at home?" 

The answer is, firstly, because gathering together is God's heart for us. The Lord has commanded us, His people who have been called and redeemed, to fellowship together with Him. (Hebrews 10:25)

The second reason why we should gather together is because corporate worship has several benefits. The first benefit is to make our faith grow and mature. While worshipping together, our faith is raised up through the Word we hear. Spiritual food which is the Word of God makes our faith firm and empowering in daily life.

Another benefit of worshipping together is we surround ourselves with a caring and encouraging community. In the church assembly, there is a community where each member of church cares for another, and encourages each other in love and in good works. By worshipping together we can have the opportunity to serve together.

We need each other. 

Seek the Lord and His strength, seek His face always.
