While I believe that corporate worship can be beneficial for many of us, especially new Christians; I get the sense that it may not be at the top of the list for what Jesus expects of his church. Reading in the Book of Acts, the first four chapters speak of preaching in the synagogue, which seems to me evangelistic outreach. Once baptized, the new converts spent time with the apostles learning about Jesus, faith, and service. They worked together, but there is not much to indicate corporate worship on the sabbath or the first day of the week.

This is just a preliminary post; to be followed by additional questions. Stay tuned…
