What is the purpose and benefit of gathering for corporate worship?
Summary
The sermon emphasizes that the church is the called-out and called-together people, not just a building, highlighting the biblical imperative to assemble. Referencing scriptures like Hebrews 10:25 and 1 Corinthians 11 regarding the Lord's Supper, it stresses the importance of communal worship and spiritual grace experienced horizontally with others. The practical takeaway is that while facilities facilitate worship, true worship and the essence of the church reside in the gathered assembly of believers.
