Gathered or assembled?

YOU CANNOT EXPERIENCE THE FULLNESS OF JESUS WITHOUT PARTICIPATING IN HIS BODY

Hebrews 10:19-25   how to remain on fire for the Lord

Draw near  — come before God with reverent hearts

  • As in Heb 4:16

Hold fast  —  hold tight to something to keep it from wandering

  • Like restraining a pet with a leash
  • Our faith tends to wander…we have a natural tendency to lose our hope in Christ

Consider … to provoke  — like inciting a riot

  • Think how we might best help someone get active in their Kingdom calling
  • Provoke – encourage and light a fire in one another

Assembling together…encouraging one another

  • Being intentional…not finding other things more important than this one.
  • So many distractions!
  • Bio family is not enough! Family has blind spots – the family of God fills those gaps. Families can become cliquish – the body – young and old, keeps that from happening
  • We think, “well, I already have fellowship with my friends – but what about the ones who need YOR encouragement???”

 

Are you living 24/7 in an attitude of sold out, on fire for Jesus, committed lifestyle?

You need the body of Christ!!!
