A crucial element of our Christian life and church life is the meetings. One of the main characteristics of a Christian is that he meets with other Christians (Matt. 18:20; Heb. 10:25). Moreover, the word ekklesia, which is the Greek word for church, indicates that the church is a group of people called out to meet together. The meetings of the church are a great help to us personally and are profitable for the church; thus, we should come together often, even every day if possible (Acts 2:46; 5:42).
