God's People Gather

FIRST LESSON: Psalm 122:1
God’s people love to gather in his house to worship him.
I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”

SECOND LESSON: Hebrews 10:23-25
God’s people love to encourage each other.
Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

THIRD LESSON: Acts 4:32-35
God’s people love to serve one another alongside one another.
All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need.

FOURTH LESSON: Matthew 26:26-28
God’s people love to gather to receive the Lord’s Supper
While they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take and eat; this is my body.”
Then he took the cup, gave thanks and offered it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.”
