Why We Gather

Biblically, Why We Gather 

We Gather to Draw Near 

Everything points back to the Old Testament 

• Day of Atonement/blood of the lamb/Lamb of God v.19 
  • Curtain/torn in two v.20 
  • Confession of sin/Jesus was sinless v. 21 
  • Somebody already did everything needed to get us where we should most want to go

We Gather to Hold On 

• Hebrews 3:12-14

We Gather to Watch Out 

• What do you hope for others? 
• We do all of this as we gather together 
• Challenge to prioritize weekly gathering with the body 
  • I want you to draw near with one another 
  • I want you to hold on with one another 
  • I want you to be watched over and watch out for one another
