Why I should WANT to be at the assemblies
and classes of the church
- These are team efforts for the good of the team and I am part of the team: "with
one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel" Php. 1:27.
- Out of consideration for my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ -- to encourage them: "let
us consider how to stimulate one another . . . not forsaking our own assembling
together..but encouraging one another" Heb. 10:24-25.
- To grow in knowledge and faith in the word and will of God: "they met with the
church, and taught considerable numbers..." Acts 11:26; "faith comes from
hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ" Rom. 10:17.
- To be an example -- to my family, my brethren, and my friends: "join in
following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in
us" Php. 3:17; "in speech, conduct, love, faith and purity, show yourself
an example of those who believe" 1 Tim. 4:12.
- To worship God -- He is deserving! "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive
power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing." Rev
5:12.
- To cooperate with the those who are charged with watching over your soul: "Obey
your leaders, and submit to them, for they keep watch over your souls . . ." Heb.
13:17.
