A Mini Bible Study: The Power of Gathering Together
"For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." , Matthew 18:20 (NIV)
Jesus promised His presence wherever His people come together. That's the heart of Boundless groups and classes, creating space for God to show up, whether you're in a living room, a hospital bed, or connecting from halfway around the world.
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching." , Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)
You were made for connection. Boundless is here to help you find it, no matter your background, denomination, or circumstances.
