God said the purpose of meeting together is for us to edify one another, equipping one another in the Lord, to go from that place living more fully for the Lord than you did before.
God never placed one man in charge of edifying a group. He commanded that we all edify one another with the truth allowing the Holy Spirit to be the One Who directs everything.
Hebrews 3:13 "But exhort one another daily, as long as it is called today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness."
Ephesians 4:29 "Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen."
Romans 14:19 "So then, let us pursue what leads to peace and to mutual edification."
Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God."
Hebrews 10:24-25 "And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. Let us not neglect meeting together, as some have made a habit, but let us encourage one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
May each one depend on the Lord Jesus Christ, not on others, and may that dependence help one another to more fully rely on our Savior.
