Message: "Why Does Church Meet Together"

1) What are some of your reasons for coming to church meetings, either Sunday morning meetings or small group meetings?

2) Read Acts 2:42-47. What are some of the reasons the very first church met together?

3) If we categorized the reasons why we meet together as a church, they could be: a) For my own benefit b) For the benefit of others in the church c) For God's benefit Where do the reasons you listed in questions 1 and 2 fit into these categories? Do some reasons overlap categories?

4) Read Hebrews 10:25. Why do you think some Christians "give up" meeting together?

5) What attitudes might help us to avoid "giving up" meeting together? (If you're stuck for ideas, try Hebrews 10:24 as a start.)

Prayer suggestion: Pray that God continues to strengthen us as individuals and as a church, and that we would excel at encouraging one another and blessing God with our worship.
