Let's meet together: Who not where

Large numbers of God's People might often meet in specific church buildings in many places around the world in the 21st century, but for thousands of Christians today and in the past, this isn't or wasn't the case. The Greek word that is often translated 'church' in English Bibles had an original civic meaning: a gathering with a specific purpose of those who are summoned. We can meet for several specific purposes as Jesus followers.

Listen to this Talk to hear some of these purposes and to be reminded that, like Jesus, we are to show compassion to others. It is much more important to consider Who we are meeting (God), rather than where or in what way we are meeting. Let's demonstrate who God is and what He is like as we choose to meet together in the various places we go in a normal week.
