Summary: Meeting with other believers is important to our relationship with Christ. If you’re a car-owner, you know that a proper maintenance schedule is key to keeping your car in working order. Routine maintenance is also important for our health, and nearly every aspect of our lives. But, did you know that regular maintenance is also critical in our spiritual lives? Just as we seek an outside, knowledgeable opinion on matters of health and upkeep, we need to meet regularly with other believers to maintain and grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ. Hebrews 10:24-25 says that we should not neglect to meet together in order to encourage one another and “spur one another on towards love and good deeds.” God did not mean for us to follow Him in isolation. We need our brothers and sisters in Christ to keep us accountable, to rejoice with us in times of triumph, and encourage us in our struggles. Contact your church leadership to find a community with whom you can share openly. Let’s work hard to be intentional about being a community with others. Jesus asks us to and we’ll be more effective in reaching our world if we do.
