I had one of those "aha!" moments in church last Sunday.  The topic of forgoing the assembly of the saints came up in Sunday School and I went down a mental rabbit trail.

I have always equated sharing my faith with evangelism.  To share my faith meant to share the gospel, or at least to live the gospel in front of others.  But as I sat in the back row, looking at the people in this congregation that I love, I realized that there is another aspect of sharing my faith. Being with these beloved saints and corporately worshipping with them is sharing our common faith with one another.

I am blessed to be in a church body that loves to "one another".  People love to give and serve and show kindess in many practical ways, and it all proceeds from this common faith that we share with each other as we worship the Lord as the bride of Christ.  I'm encouraged to be intentional in sharing my faith in the assembly of the saints, as well as with those who are as yet strangers to the faith.

EXCELLENT! Another reason that corporate worship when possible is such an important thing.
