Hebrews 10:24-25 implores followers of Christ to regularly meet together for the purpose of worship. In the United States, where rugged individualism and independence is highly valued, we don’t often readily see the need for a faith community. But the Holy Spirit, speaking through the writer of Hebrews knows the importance of getting together regularly with our faith community. When the book of Hebrews was written, the church was entering a period of severe persecution. And the writer knew that the Christians to whom this letter would be read needed encouragement to hang together. And followers of Christ today need this same encouragement.

Anxiety is a fact of life. Psychologists tell us that when we face fear, (an anxious response) we will react by running (flight), resisting (fight), or becoming immobilized (freeze). The Bible tells us we have a fourth response—praying. Philippians 4:6-7 gives us a way out of life’s anxiety through prayer by replacing it with a peace that can only come from God.
