     | 5,871 views

    We need the church community, and the church needs us. Therefore we need to meet regularly for fellowship, and participate actively in encouraging one another.

    This passage tells us 2 things: (1) we need the church; (2) the church needs us to play our part. You cannot live a good Christian life all by yourself. We need to be part of a community called the church. This is even more so, the Bible says, as "we see the Day approaching." We are drawing ...read more

Each of us here could get the same phone call and yet have a different response. But what if God calls? How do we ...read more
