Grace + Glory: 7 Days of Experiencing God's Astounding Generosity From Louie GiglioSample

Gather

Why is it important that we come together and worship shoulder to shoulder with other Christ followers?

Wouldn't it be enough to worship God in our own personal and private ways?

Yes, worship begins with an intimate relationship between you and God. It must start from a place of awe and wonder at what God has done for you and in you. But worship is never truly finished until what has been placed in us—joy, gratitude, celebration-moves through us to fellow believers and those who don't yet know Jesus as their Savior.

When we gather as believers, collective hope rises.

Our trust is strengthened as our faith is anthemed.

This is where the weary get lifted, the fearful get emboldened, and the downcast get rejuvenated. This is the power of a worship gathering, and all it takes to unlock it is for you and other believers to show up with open hearts. Make gathering together a priority, and watch what God does.

Prayer

Lord, point me back to my first love, a pure devotion to You rooted in a holy awe at Your salvation power and work.
