Means of Grace
Corporate Worship
Grace · 5 verses
The gathered assembly of believers constitutes an essential means of grace wherein God meets His people through Word, sacrament, prayer, and mutual edification. Corporate worship, far from being optional, provides the ordinary context for spiritual nourishment, as the body of Christ functions together for the strengthening of individual members and the glorification of the triune God.
