Misunderstanding of the Kingdom
There is much misunderstanding of “church” and going to church. Some think of church as a Sunday morning event held in a church building. This is not church. The Church is God’s people. Everyday. All day. The Kingdom of God on Earth. Kingdom gatherings are special times for disciples of Jesus Christ to gather in worship. But church is the people of God. Those that are part of God’s household.
Ephesians 2:19-22; Ephesians 3; Romans 12:1-8
Weekly Gatherings of Believers
The weekly gatherings of God’s people is a time of fellowship, discipleship, praise, encouragement, and taking of the memorial meal honoring Jesus Christ. It is not an outreach event, public service, or online spectacle. Kingdom gatherings are special private occasions where the church gathers to empower one another.
The most important gathering of followers is on Sunday. Every member gathers to participate in the Lord’s memorial meal, joyous singing, prayer, discipleship, fellowship meals, and preaching. But this is not the only meeting during the week. Saints spend time together doing good works, one-on-one discipleship, praying together, in Bible study, teaching outsiders, public preaching outreach, and special events. Christianity is a daily walk with God.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26; Ephesians 5:18-20; 1 Corinthians 14:26-40
