Heb. 10: 25,  "Don't forsake the assembling of yourselves together, as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as you see the day approaching."

Church.  Why is it so important to go,  instead of staying at home and sitting in front of the TV and watching a sermon by yourself--which might be a lot more interesting than what your preacher has to offer.   Not every preacher can be Billy Graham.

But God covered that question when he told us in verse 24---to "...provoke each other to good works."  You need to be where people are to be able to provoke (encourage).  They come to the gathering that we call church for a lot of reasons, looking for something more.  A group allows a person to be anonymous as exhortation takes place.  The group gives support.  The Holy Spirit does the rest.  

In verse 25 (from above),  God says  for us to assemble.  Then He says for us to exhort.

Church isn't about you.  It is about the strength of the group.  It's about what you do for the others in the assembly.  They are your church family and they need you.  There are dozens of ways to help.

And God is very clear.  You don't have an excuse for not finding a group where you can serve.

It is all about giving.  Not getting.

And like it says, "The day" is approaching.  One way or another we will have to answer to a Holy God for our behavior here on earth when it comes to the subject of assembling.

There is strength in numbers.
