We see Jesus,

who was made a little lower than the angels

for the suffering of death,

crowned with glory and honour.

Hebrews 2:9

We have been enjoying times together looking into the word via zoom. On Tuesday evening we will be starting 2 Corinthians and on Friday evenings we continue to consider together the 12 aspects of the kingdom. It has given an opportunity that some isolated ones would not have had otherwise.

On both evenings the time is 6PM Pacific time. The meeting ID is: 382 049 895. For those joining in on their phones, call 877-853-5247.

The session will be open about 5:30 PM Pacific time for those who might want to chat before the meeting.

The article this month is an extract

from H. L. Rossier’s book on

Nehemiah chapter 4 verses 19 and 20

Nehemiah tells the nobles:

"The work is great and extended, and we are scattered upon the wall, one far from another: in what place ye hear the sound of the trumpet, thither shall ye assemble to us; our God will fight for us" (vv. 19, 20).

To be effective, the work must be a combined effort. When the enemy appears, believers must not be found scattered, and if there is no combined resistance at the point of attack, they are sure to succumb. The adversary takes advantage of the scattered condition of the children of God, and their gathering together is what is most contrary to him, because he knows that this multiplies their strength. And so his first concern, when he attacks them, is to sow discord and divisions among them. That is the reason why this call of God: "Assemble to us", still resounds on every side, as in the days of Nehemiah. We have a center of gathering. Let us gather together around our Head. The trumpet has already resounded so as to be heard by one and all. Let us make haste; let us not say: My work is enough for me. No, our Head says, it is not enough, for if the enemy finds you isolated, he will destroy both you and your work. The danger is threatening. Let us gather together instead of scattering.

May we have ears to hear what the Spirit is saying to the assemblies. It is all very well to build in front of one's home, but it is the general interests of the people of God which claim all our energy in view of our brothers. That is why the trumpet calls us together. Soon, when the battle is over, the trumpet will gather us for the last time where there is no more question of building or of self-defense, but where we will enjoy eternal rest!
