Romans 1:7 & 16:16

A time of greeting one another during the worship service can seem like a clever way to keep people awake and caffeinated, or a convenient way to make space for taking our children to their classes for worship. And for some introverts, it is the most dreaded 210 seconds of their week. But there are very important practical, biblical and theological reasons for our time of greeting. In addition to doing so because we are told to do so in the New Testament, we greet one another because we are meant to be in community together and because when we do so we demonstrate the reconciliation found in the gospel.
