Text of excerpt, if available
There may be a sense in which is there, but I think that that is conveyed when you're in the presence of the people that you're, that are teaching it and monitoring you, right? I mean, how are you going to be really taught in a one another, if you're by yourself, again, that's not to say you can't be spiritually encouraged by listening to a song, but that is just one example of the way that God set up his church is that one member is encouraging another member, right? One person has a song just in the song, service, a song that's laid on their heart, or they call it out. And that encourages someone else that might be the exact lyrics to that song. It's what they need to hear. That is what happens in the functioning of the body of Christ and the functioning of the church.
And if there is anyone that is content to just sit at home in their pajamas and watch Facebook live, then you missed the entire, if you were, if you're not craving in person worship after not showing up for two months, then that is a, not a very good indication of where you are spiritually. Okay. We need to pray for people that have got complacent in that way. But I have not been overly concerned about that because I'll tell you if you've got the right mindset, you, you feel the exact opposite way. And I know you all have you feel the exact opposite way. I'm not content to just sit at home and listen to audio recording. No, cause there's something that is uniquely special about the communion with Christ and the communion of the Holy spirit when I have especially fellowship in a worship setting, but we can have that, you know, in the evenings with our families and with friends.
And that's why it's so important for the church to make collectively more than just on Sunday morning. But I want to look at a couple of verses that describe the, the intensity with which we crave fellowship with other people, especially when we're deprived of that. And what better example to consider the way in which you crave that fellowship when you're deprived of it, then the apostle Paul, who was cast in prison a lot by himself a lot. And you don't have to turn to all these. You can just listen. Cause I want to kind of give you a brief little snippet of quite a few that I think are all giving the same thought, okay. Romans chapter one and verse 10 making requests. If by any means now at length, I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you for I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift to the end that he may be established.
