Each man has his own insists! 6
All of my life, I insist to be early at the church building for worship and Bible study!
I have yet to miss one regular Bible study at the church or Sunday worship in my 40 years in N.Y.C.!
Today, I will share why God help me to do this for all these years!
A. Hebrew 10:25-39
1. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;
but exhorting one another and so much more, as ye see the day approaching. Heb.10:25
Please take note, Sunday worship is the assembling of ourselves together!
2. For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remain no more sacrifice for sins. Heb.10:26
Forsake the assembling of ourselves together is a willful sin!
The assembling of ourselves together is a natural routine thing to do in our lives!
It takes strong will power to forsake! This is a knowledge of the truth.
It is a sin willfully, therefore, there remain no more sacrifice for sin!
3. But a certain fearful looking for judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries!
As we can see the one who forsakes the assembling of ourselves together will die with God’s enemy!
4. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses. Heb.10:28
God has no mercy for these people!
5. Forsake the assembling of ourselves together is a trodden Jesus Christ under foot and counted the
blood of the covenant an unholy thing and done despite unto the Spirit of grace. Heb.10:29
B. Why forsake the assembling of ourselves together is a trodden Jesus Christ under foot!?
1. The Lord Jesus is the one put you in his church! Acts 2:47
2. The Spirit of grace is the one make sure that you be at the church for worship to God!
By forsake the assembling of ourselves together, you made his joy a failure!

4. The church is the assembling of ourselves together! Romans 12:5
When the saved forsake the assembling of ourselves together, the church is no more!
5. Jesus came to build the church. Matt.16:18
By forsake the assembling of ourselves together, the church disappear, Jesus mission a failure!
When this happened, the work of God, Christ, Holy Spirit… all failed!
C. The saved people who form the church are to be perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect!
1. Jesus said: Be ye perfect as the Father in heaven is perfect. Matt.5:48
2. By being in the body of Christ!
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word.
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. John 17:20-21
3. Apostle Paul put it this way: That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot,
or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. Eph.5:27
4. The church is to be the body of Christ. Eph.1:22-23

8. And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,
Which is his body, the fullness of him that filled all in all. Eph.1:22-23
D. Conclusion: Please forever remember what says in Hebrew 10:29!
Forsake Sunday worship to God is:
1. A trodden under foot the Son of God.
