This session lays much of the groundwork of the conference defining what “church” is. What is a “church”? Which “church”? You could discuss denominationalism as well and how that fits into the topic. Also, you could discuss where one could gather and what difference it makes.

#2 - "To Be or Not to Be?"

Bro. Joshua Edwards  |  Sep. 23, 2023  |  1 Cor. 12:13  |  Download Audio

This session takes us to the next step of how one becomes a part of the church defined and identified from session 1. How does one become a member of the church the body of Christ? (the gospel). In this session introduce “the gathering” or “coming together” of Christ’s body, that we are not only to be a member of Christ’s body, but we are called to gather together.

#3 - "As the Manner of Some Is"

Pastor Josh Strelecki  |  Sep. 23, 2023  |  Heb. 10:23-25  |  Download Audio

This session examines the negative consequences of being a member of the body of Christ, but not gathering together. The parallels between the future Hebrews are helpful to learn from as well. Examine what one misses out on from not gathering together as many members.

#4 - "For Better or Worse?"

Asst. Pastor Joel Hayes  |  Sep. 23, 2023  |  Ps. 133:1; 1 Cor. 11:17  |  Download Audio

This session delves into the truth that even though we can be members of the body of Christ and we gather with fellow members that we can either gather for the “better” or “worse”. The Corinthians gathered for the worse, the Philippians and Thessalonians for the better for example. Examine how we gather for the worse and end by how we gather for the better.
