“Some Assembly Required”

Monday, November 26, 2012

Are there any examples in the New Testament of Christians assembling for a worship service?

Sincerely,
Attendee

Dear Attendee,

There are a couple of very clear examples of Christians assembling to worship.  Acts 20:7-12 describes a Sunday worship service that lasted until midnight… that is where we get our example of taking the Lord’s Supper on the first day of the week.

However, probably the clearest examples of Christian worship services can be found in Acts 2:42 and Acts 5:11-12.  The church met regularly at the temple to hear the apostle’s teachings, break bread (i.e. Lord’s supper), and pray.
