Discipleship Loves (v. 14,15b)

Ro. 15:14 I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another 

Heb. 10:24-25 24 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. 

3 common objections to church attendance:

• “I don't need to go to a building to meet with God."
• "I can read my Bible and pray anywhere."
• "I love Jesus, but I'm against organized religion."
•  

3 Biblical Responses:

• You are commanded to attend the church gathering (Heb. 10:24)
• You need the church gathering (Heb. 10:25; 3:13-14)
• You are part of a body that needs you (1 Cor. 12:18, 25-26) 

2 Tim. 3:16-17 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.

Discipleship Encourages (15a)

1 Jo. 4:11,18a  11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.... 18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear....
