WHY CHURCH?
WHY DO I NEED COMMUNITY WITH OTHERS?
Hebrews 10:24–25, CSB
“And let us consider one another in order to provoke love and good works, not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.”
John 13:34–35, CSB
““I give you a new command: Love one another. Just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.””
Proverbs 27:17, CSB
“As iron sharpens iron, and one person sharpens another.”
Proverbs 18:1, CSB
“One who isolates himself pursues selfish desires; he rebels against all sound wisdom.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9–12, CSB
“Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm? And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.”
Colossians 3:13–14, CSB
“bearing with one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a grievance against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you are also to forgive. Above all, put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.”
Ephesians 1:22-23, CSB
“And he subjected everything under His feet and appointed Him as head over everything for the church, which is His body.”
