Turn in your Bible to Hebrew chapter 10 versus 24 and 25. I'm going to speak today about our absolute need for one another.

And in Hebrew chapter 10 versus 24 and 25, something Paul says, he said something as powerfully as he could possibly say it.

And he said something to an early church, a young church that was just growing and Paul was speaking here and he says in Hebrew's chapter

him will come up on your either in your Bible

on the PowerPoint.

And let us consider how we may spur.

And I want you to look at that word spur,

but we're going to come back to it.

Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.

Let us not give up meeting together as some are in the habit of doing,

but let us encourage one another and all the more as you see the day approaching.

You see the early church was convinced that Jesus was coming back absolutely soon.

They felt that they not only saw Jesus crucified and they saw him again after he was crucified, but they believe

that Jesus was coming back in their lifetime.

And so Paul was saying, even the more as you see the times of the end times approaching begin to meet together make sure

that you are connected with one another well here we are 2,000 years later and the

signs of Christ's return are imminent in our history and in our every day on the news we see all the signs of

Christ return and if Paul's words were true for the church then they are absolutely true today.

Let us consider how we may spur one another on and that word spur you know what it means that if you're a cowboy you know that those things you put on the boots are more than just ornaments that they're actually meant to go to to encourage, to irritate and provoke.

Well, this is the word there, to irritate and to provoke.

Here's what Paul was saying.

Irritate and provoke one another toward love and good deeds.
