Therefore, Part 2: Therefore, We Gather

Brian Behrends, Creative Pastor

Hebrews 10:23-25 
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 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.

Why do we gather?

1. We gather to

2. We gather to

Colossians 3:16
Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.

Zephaniah 3:17
The Lord your God is with you, the mighty warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing.

3. We gather for

Mark 16:15
And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone…”
