In this sermon, Dr. Hawkins delivers a passionate biblical case for why gathering with God's people isn't optional - it's essential. Drawing from Hebrews 10:25 ("not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together"), he explains how rejecting church fellowship means rejecting God's design for protection, growth and leadership.

Just like the blind man in John 9 needed both physical healing AND to follow Jesus, Christians today need both personal faith AND church family. With practical wisdom, Dr. Hawkins tackles common excuses for skipping church while reminding us that imperfect people (like all of us!) are exactly who Jesus came to save.
