The Church and what comes last
Church
Loading Hebrews 10:24-25…
The writer assumes some had already stopped meeting, so this is not a modern problem. The reasons given for gathering are outward: to stir up other people to love and good works. Church attendance in Hebrews is a service rendered to others, not a box ticked for God.
A prayer from this passage
Father, thank You for the people You have joined me to. Keep me from drifting away from them. Show me who needs stirring up to love and good works, and make me part of the answer rather than one more absence.
Key truth
The church is a body believers belong to and serve, not an event they attend for personal benefit.
