Episunagoge: A Study on the Assembly

Episunagoge

Assembling together: What is involved, and when does God require it?  Do we need to attend meetings every time someone calls one, or is it only the scheduled weekly meetings that God requires of us? 

This has been a topic of the Church ever since someone started taking roll.  Most preachers want a large crowd.  To facilitate this, they probably will preach about regular attendance.  In this type of sermon it is almost guaranteed that Hebrews 10:25 will be taught.  This has been the strong arm of many a church leader to ensure all meetings are attended. It is inferred that a layperson should be present whenever the church buildings doors are open.  Let us examine the verse in Hebrews and see what a strong weapon it is.  We also should check to see if it states what many a leader has taught.
