The meaning of the word church can be clearly seen in the type of the children of Israel. When the Israelites were scattered in Egypt, God called them out into the wilderness to become an assembly. Even though there was no such title as the church, the gathering of those called out by God was the church, the assembly. The church life is a meeting life, an assembling life. Hebrews 10:25 says, “Not abandoning our own assembling together.” Meeting together is the greatest, most practical, and most effective way for Christians to be built up. Meetings are extremely important to the Christian life. (Guidelines for the Lord’s Table Meeting and the Pursuit in Life, Chapter 2)
