    Christians were never meant to journey alone. The church provides essential encouragement through fellowship offering mutual support, worship lifting our spirits, and shared experiences strengthening our bonds. We need to actively encourage one another, following the early church's example.

    It would be a tragedy for believers to possess biblical knowledge and spiritual giftedness, and yet never use that knowledge and giftedness for the advancement of the Kingdom. Many churches are stagnant and dead spiritually because they focus upon the wrong things.
