Why Gather Together

Religious Pattern?

Early Church Reference- Pattern

The Holy Spirit Comes- Acts 2:1–2 (NKJV) 2 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Meeting In One Place

Heaven Makes A Sound - Roar- When Gods people gather Heaven regognises the opportunity for Gods Power to move on the earth.

We Need The Power of The Holy Spirit

The Things We do Need The Breath of God

I Dont Need To Go to Church

Pride- “I” dont need anybody to teach me- help me- I am smarter than anyone else.

Ignorance- 1 John 2:26–27 (NIV) 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in him.

Offence-Hurt by someone at church-You are meant to forgive not leave

The Worlds Influence- Post Covid some people have stopped going to church and either just dont bother or take the easy way and watch on line. Note the word watch instead of participate.

Hebrews 10:24–25 (NIV) 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

World View- Individualism In Post Modern Society -(Last 45 years)

Post-Modernism is, in essence, an individualist philosophy. Individualists encourage the exercise of an individual's goals and desires and therefore value independence and self-reliance. They also argue that the interests of the individual are more important than those of the state or of any social group.
