TOGETHER AGAIN | Week 4 | May 31, 2020 | Scott Gossenberger

46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,  47  praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Acts 2:46-47

12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.
Colossians 3:12-14  

FOUR REASONS WHY WE GATHER TOGETHER…

• TOGETHER WE EXPERIENCE THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN A WAY WE CANNOT EXPERIENCE HIS POWER ALONE.

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Acts 2:1

• WE THRIVE IN OUR FAITH WHEN WE GATHER TOGETHER.

24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
Hebrews 10:24-25 

• WE GATHER TOGETHER TO GET SMALLER.

Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke
bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts…
Acts 2:46

• OUR FAITH IS EXPRESSED MOST PROFOUNDLY WHEN WE GATHER TOGETHER.

…praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added
to their number daily those who were being saved.
Acts 2:47
