Corporate Worship

Why is corporate worship so important? There are many reasons. However, consider the reason William Gurnall notes: “A father is glad to see any one of his children, and makes him welcome when he visits him, but much more when they come together: the greatest feast is when they all meet at his house. The public praises of the church are the em­blem of heaven itself, where all the angels and saints make but one consort.” (William Gurnall, The Christian in Complete Armour, vol. 2, pp. 394-395)
