The Primacy of Worship

As we have seen in the first 20 chapters of the Book of Acts
– establishing churches and having regular worship was the
number one priority of the Apostles and Paul.

Hebrews 10:19-25

The House of God v. 21 – parallels with forsake not the assembling in v. 25

I. Drawing Near v. 22

This Greek word is used 7 times in the Book of Hebrews.
Every time it has to do with WORSHIP in the church.

10:22 gives two qualifications for true worship.

1. A sincere heart.
2. Full assurance of faith.

II. Let us Hold Fast v. 23

Hold fast = keep, guard, retain, possess

III. Consider One Another v. 24

“thoughtful attention” – not just a passing glance.

IV. Forsake not the Assembling v. 25

Regular attendance was a problem even in the first century.
Troublesome times are not times to forsake the church.
In those times we need to redouble our efforts.
