The Gathering of the Local Church

August 10, 2018
By Pastor Jathan

Sermon – The Gathering of the Local Church – 1 Peter 2:4-8

Preparing your heart for the sermon:

  • Why do we gather as a local church?
  • What image does Peter give for the church?  What do we learn about the church from this picture?
  • How is Christ’s relationship to the church described?

Other passages to consider: Ex 19:3-6; Ps 96; 118:22-24; Isa 8:11-15; 28:14-16; 43:1-7; Matt 16:13-20; 21:42-46; Acts 4:8-12; 1 Cor 3:16-17; 14:24-25; Eph 2:13-22.

Digging Deeper:

  • What does it mean to worship God?  How can we do this?
  • In what ways does gathering corporately help us worship God and bring glory to him?
  • Should church services be geared toward unbelievers?  If not, how could God still use the gathering to bring salvation to the lost?
  • What should people learn about God from attending a gathering of AGC?
