All tagged gathering

As many churches meet remotely due to COVID-19 we are tempted by Zoom meetings to continue coming together in this way, but as we walk the path of our faith we often find ourselves confronted by temptation and evil along the way, and facing these challenges alone is a frightening prospect. We are at our weakest when by ourselves, and that is precisely why Satan tempted Jesus in the wilderness; he felt his best chance to overcome Him was while He was wandering by Himself, but in reality Jesus was never alone, and neither are we... God is with us always.

In this time of continued pandemic we often think that it has become difficult to gather together to pray and worship, but the truth is that, other than seeing each other’s faces, it is no more difficult. Over the thousands of years since creation, We have become accustomed to gathering bodily in synagogues, churches, and other places, but our true place of prayer and worship is always before the throne of God, and Jesus Christ.
