Why you need biblical community
- By: Dr. Jack Graham
- December 29, 2022
And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
Hebrews 10:24-25
I heard about a man who wanted to sing in the choir of a certain church. So he went in to meet with the pastor, who asked him, “Are you a member of this church?”
The man said, “No, I’m not a member of the church.”
The pastor said, “Well, are you a member of any church?”
And the man replied, “No, I’m not a member of any church. But I am a member of God’s invisible universal Church.”
So the pastor quipped back, “Well, why don’t you sing in the invisible universal choir then?!”
When we think about church, there are two separate and equally important aspects of church. There is the invisible universal Church to which all believers in Christ belong. And there is also the local church, the visible representation of that invisible reality.

Now yes, it’s possible to be a part of the universal Church without belonging to a local church. But as you see in today’s passage, assembling together is a mandate from the Scriptures that we’re to take seriously!
So if you’re not involved in a local church where you’re meeting with others and growing together, I encourage you to start the new year off right, find one and get plugged in. You’ll not only be fulfilling the biblical mandate to assemble together, but you’ll build lasting friendships that will lift you up!
THE BIBLE IS CLEAR THAT BELIEVERS ARE TO MEET TOGETHER. SO IF YOU AREN’T YET, GET CONNECTED WITH A LOCAL CHURCH AND BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER CHRISTIANS LIKE YOU!
