The Presence of the Lord Jesus in His Church

Christ shows John a vision of seven golden lampstands which represent seven churches. He then tells John that He walks among the lampstands. He is serious about His Church. He knows everything about the Church and specifically about each one of us.

The Assembling of Ourselves Together: Not Me...Us

You are not called to be a Christian hermit!! You were never meant to walk in Christ alone. You will not properly grow in Christ as an individual. Why would you want to when God has provided us with a body of believers...filled with help and heroes?! You were called by God to be in a body of saints and there to grow and serve. Why settle for less than God's best for you? He has a purpose when we assemble ourselves together.
