Read Together
Hebrews 10:24-25 (ESV)
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, [25] not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Talk About It
Did you know God doesn’t want us to live our faith alone? He made us to need each other! Hebrews tells us that meeting together and encouraging one another helps us grow strong in our faith. Just like a team or group works best when everyone helps, God’s family (the church) is strongest when we gather, love, and help one another.
Sometimes, people think they can follow Jesus by themselves. But when we do that, we can get weak or lose our way—like an animal that gets separated from its herd. God wants us to spend time with other Christians, cheer each other on, and do good together. This is why church and small groups are so important! When we meet, share, and pray together, we help each other stay close to Jesus and do good things.
For Parents to Explain
Dear God, thank You for giving us friends and a church family. Help us encourage each other and never give up meeting together. Amen.
