HEBREWS 10:24–25 1 New Testament Assemblies

2  Change Advocates Alter the Assembly: “New Testament Worship is not a place, time or event, but our life. The Christian assembly was never called or intended to be our worship. It is simply a togetherness tool to encourage, equip and edify one another, to help us be living sacrifices before God.” —Mike Root, Unbroken Bread, p. 12

New Testament Assemblies 3  Change Advocates Alter the Assembly: “We meet to perform ‘the Five Acts of Worship’ while the Troas brethren met to be together. Instead of having ‘acts’ to perform, they had tools to use to enhance their edification in Christ...With no patterns to follow, no schedules to keep, and no check lists to mark off, they spent their time together breaking bread…” —Mike Root, Unbroken Bread, p. 30

New Testament Assemblies 4  Change Advocates Alter the Assembly: “Worship is a life given in obedience to God. It’s not a when or a where proposition, but a what. It’s what we are. You can’t go to it or leave it, dress for it, and you can’t start it or stop it… It doesn’t open and close with a prayer, and it doesn’t have a human leader or a special day...and it isn’t ‘five acts,’ and it’s not so much about what we do to God as what we do for (in the name of) God” —Mike Root, Unbroken Bread, p. 115

New Testament Assemblies 5  Change Advocates Alter the Assembly:  The assembly gathers for mutual edification only.  There are no authorized activities which occur in the assembly in which we worship God.  “Our” assemblies are based on “our” tradition and are not scriptural.  True worship is what we are, a life given in obedience to God. It does not require an assembly or a pattern to follow.

New Testament Assemblies 6  The Church Met for Many Purposes–  The first assembly was for worship (Acts 2:42, 47)  They assembled for the collection (Acts 4:32–37)  They assembled for teaching (Acts 5:42)  They assembled to choose servants (Acts 6:1–6)  They assembled to plan a work (Acts 11:28–30)  They assembled for prayer (Acts 12:5, 12)  They assembled to hear reports (Acts 14:23)  They assembled to discuss critical issues (Acts 15:2, 4)

New Testament Assemblies 7  The Church Met for Many Purposes–  They assembled to study scripture (Acts 16:4–5)  They assembled for mutual comfort (Acts 16:40)  They assembled for the Lord’s Supper (Acts 20:7)  They assembled for receive preachers (Acts 21:17–22)  They assembled to discipline (I Corinthians 5:4–5)  They assembled to sing (I Corinthians 14:15–16)  They assembled for evangelism (I Corinthians 14:24–25)

New Testament Assemblies 8  An Assembly Is Essential to Some Worship—  An assembly is required for the Lord’s Supper.  “Ye do shew the Lord’s death” (I Corinthians 11:26)  “When ye come together to eat” (I Corinthians 11:33)  “Tarry one for another” (I Corinthians 11:33)

New Testament Assemblies 9  An Assembly Is Essential to Some Worship—  Some singing requires an assembly.  “One another” (Colossians 3:16)  “Speaking to yourselves” (Ephesians 5:19)  “Sing with the understanding” (I Corinthians 14:15)

New Testament Assemblies 10  An Assembly Is Essential to Some Worship—  Laying by in store requires an assembly.  Giving has always been in that context (Acts 4:34–35)  “Upon the first day of the week” (I Corinthians 16:2)  “Shew ye to them” (II Corinthians 8:24)  “Your zeal hath provoked many” (II Corinthians 9:2)

New Testament Assemblies 11  Rules Governing Assembling (I Corinthians 14)—  “Let all things be done unto edifying” (vv. 5, 12, 26)  “Understanding” (v.15)  “All learn…all comforted” (v.31)  “God is not the author of confusion but of peace as in all churches of the saints” (v. 33).  “Let your women keep silence” (v. 34).  “It is a shame for women to speak …” (v 35).  “Let all things be done decently and in order” (v. 40).

New Testament Assemblies 12  The Church Assembled for Many Purposes–  Among them were frequent assemblies in which worship occurred.  How could worship be legitimately excluded from any assembly? (e.g. Acts 21:20)  Therefore, all assemblies were characterized by the principles of I Corinthians 14.
