Jesus said, “I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” We still believe Jesus’s promise, but so many, professing Christians included, are walking away from the church altogether. If we want to see Jesus’s church continue to thrive, we must remember the why behind the church’s importance. In this series, we explore six key elements of our weekly gathering and the necessary roles they play in our faith.

- In what ways have you benefited or seen others benefit from the gathered church?
- What steps do you need to take to make gathering a greater priority in your life?
