What's The Difference?

Contributed by Tree Perkins on Sep 5, 2020

We've been taught since Sunday school that Jesus is with us and we carry Him in our heart. But Matthew 18:20 tells us that where two or three are gathered, Jesus will be among them. So what makes verse 20 different?

The last verse in our scripture reading today is my number one all-time favorite verse in the entire Bible. Verse 20 has brought me comfort over the years. Even though verse 20 is my favorite, it’s important to consider verse 19 as it sets the tone for the purpose of gathering in prayer. In vs. 19 ...read more
