Christian doctrine on having worship gatherings


We must worship God in spirit and in Truth - John 4:24

Who we must worship? - It is God who made the heavens and the earth. The unknown God in Acts 17:22-24

Wrong way of worshipping God:

1) Having idols or statues inside a place of worship and worship it - Isaiah 44:13, 15-17

Idols - Psalms 115:4 Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

115:5 They have mouths, but they speak not: eyes have they, but they see not:
115:6 They have ears, but they hear not: noses have they, but they smell not:
115:7 They have hands, but they handle not: feet have they, but they walk not: neither speak they through their throat.

115:8 They that make them are like unto them; so is every one that trusteth in them.

Effects of idol worship:

Click and Read the link Romans 1:25-32

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. - Psalms 95:6

Is this a commandment? "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." (Hebrews 10:25)

Jesus is there when there is a gathering in his name by the Christians - Matthew 18:20

What should be there in a Christian worship gathering?

1) How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. (1 Corinthians 14:26)

2) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. (Colossians 3:16)

3) <or Song for the sabbath day.>> It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: (Psalms 92:1)

When to do the Christian worship gathering?

On the first day of the week - Acts 20:7

There should be some teaching/s - "Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith." (Galatians 3:24)

Before the war happened in the year 70, Everyday there was worship gatherings - Acts 2:46

There should be giving of contributions - 1 Corinthians 16:1-2

The importance of worship gathering is to strengthen your soul :

THE PROOF IS:

"Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe." (1 Corinthians 14:22)


BENEFITS OF ATTENDING WORSHIP GATHERINGS:

1) Forgiveness of your sins - 2 Chronicles 7:14

2) Blessings - Exodus 15:26

3) God will put away all plagues from you - Exodus 15:26

Those who endure until the end shall be save - Matthew 10:22
