Call on Heaven: A 25 Day Journey of Prayer and Fasting

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.

Hebrews 10:24-25

Do you know where the most enthusiastic fans in the world are located?

Together. Something happens when people with similar passions for music, a sports team, or a public figure gather. The Bible calls this kind of camaraderie a “spurring on” and “encouragement” toward a common mission. Just as in any setting of solidarity, the Church benefits by gathering in unification, inspiration, and activity. According to this Scripture, the Church’s ability to spur on and encourage one another is contingent upon “meeting together.” Therefore, may we be a people and a church committed to gathering as we collectively pursue becoming more like Jesus.

Reflect + Apply:

Reach out to someone you know isn’t going to gather with a church this coming Sunday and invite them to join you.

Send an encouraging message to the person you are fasting alongside. Share with them how they have helped strengthen and influence your faith. Find joy in building up someone else.
