Morning Word from Pastor Peter Sunagawa

We gather on Sundays to worship the Lord.
We also gather on weekdays for prayer, Word study, and service.
In this way, our gathering together is God's will.
As it says in Acts 2:45,
"And they gathered together day after day in the temple courts, with one mind..."
The Bible encourages us to gather together.
For us, in a sense, this world is a battlefield, a place full of suffering...🤔
This is because this world is under the control of Satan.
✳️If you don't understand this, you'll be deceived by YouTubers who spread false teachings...😰
For us, this world is a battlefield, but the Christian gathering is God's house💒.
For those who are experiencing fierce battles outside, how great is the comfort and encouragement of fellowship in gatherings! …Sharing trials, toils, and joys with our beloved brothers and sisters gives us renewed strength and courage,
and allows us to go back into battle.
…If Christians stopped gathering together…😨
There would be no encouragement anywhere, and one day our faith would inevitably waver…(^_^;)))
We would leave the church…
…Why do we worship every Sunday?
Physical fatigue…can be recovered with rest😴.
However, our spirit, our soul…
It is when we worship the Lord who created it that we receive strength, encouragement, and vitality❗️
…That is why we will never stop gathering together❗️.
Shalom😃
