There’s an old proverb: “If you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far; go together.” In our culture, we idealize the myth of the self-made individual. But, in fact, we never actually accomplish anything lasting in isolation. We were designed to work best, together. And God gave us a setting for gathering—The Church! But, because the Church is a broken community, made up of broken people, many have begun to wonder what’s the point in gathering as an “assembly of believers” very often, if at all. In this series, we’ll look at the struggles of the early church, as revealed in the book of 1st Peter, to see why assembling together might still be worth it!
