     | 67,164 views

    There are three times in Hebrews 10:19-25, that the Hebrew writer uses the phrase, “let us,” to appeal to the local congregation about being steadfast in their attendance to the local assembly or church.

In so many of the American churches, a lot of people basically attend three times in their entire ...read more
