It is wise and healthy for a church to continually reflect on why we do what we do. This is because it is so easy to lose sight of our core mission. This week, we have been thinking about what it means to be a church member and how church membership supports our mission.

Our Fighter Verse this week tells us to not neglect “meeting together.” The word “meet together” found in this verse is only found in two places in the New Testament. Obviously here but also in 2 Thessalonians 2:1.

Pray boldly for what God has already promised and for what he is already doing. Pray for sanctification. Pray for spiritual growth. Pray for gospel witness. Pray for mission. Pray for these things because it honors God when we pray about what he has told us he will do. Why? Because this is the prayer of true faith. Faith in what God has said to us.
