Why do we gather?
Worship—we gather to praise and thank God.
Edification—we gather to be encouraged and built up.
Liturgy—we gather to serve God for the sake of the people.
Lieturgia
Liturgy is work.
Liturgy is working for God.
Liturgy is working on behalf of the people.
The Power of the Gathering
When God’s people gather, Jesus brings us into the presence of God.
The assembly “is the house of God—the temple of the Holy Spirit—and… we are, especially and emphatically, in the presence of the Lord when we are engaged in his worship.”
Alexander Campbell
When God’s people gather in his presence, he gives their actions have special power.
God wants his people to use the gathering to change ourselves, each other, the church, and the world.
Conclusion
We gather to do, not to watch.
A gathering is measured by how it serves God, not how it makes me feel.
Gathering to serve God on behalf of the people can change—and has changed—the world.
