Sunday and Wednesday night church services.

[Tarheel Baptist]

Does your church conduct them?

We do not have a regular Sunday night service, however during December we use Sunday evenings for:
12/7 - Our children's Christmas program.
12/14 - Observing the Lords Table.
12/21 - A Christmas Concert presented by our church musicians.
12/28 - Our annual business meeting.

We do have a weekly adult Bible study on Wednesday evenings.
Along with our children and teen programs.

We have Shandon University several times during the year on Sunday nights,  these are small, themed Bible studies, some for men some for ladies..mixed....

On Wednesday we have dinner, Awana, Pastor's Bible Study.

[prophet]

When we plant a church, it meets once a week, on Sunday morningish.

I leave before any meetings are added.

 

[FSSL]

Our traditional service has Sunday AM, PM and Wednesday night.

Our contemporary service has Sunday AM. Some of us have a special Wednesday night program for teens.

 

[Ransom]

Nope. No need for 'em.

 

[Recovering IFB]

We have Sunday morning services only, but our home groups meet during the week at different days

 

[ItinerantPreacher]

We have Sun AM and Sun Afternoon Services (Potluck every Sunday between services) and a Weds Eve Bible study

Hebrews 10:25
25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

Hebrews 10:25

Not having Sunday night services wouldn't equate to abandoning the faith

Why mention the word "abandoning" when the Bible uses the word "forsaking?"

[/quote]I see a lot of that logic here. The highlighted part was "and so much the more". How is havine less more?

 

[Recovering IFB]

Forsake, Greek word egkataleipō, means literally, to abandon,desert, leave in straits, leave helpless,totally abandoned, utterly forsaken,to leave behind among, to leave surviving
I believe the Scriptures are clear here that we shouldn't be giving up on our faith, ,not to abandon the faith. It's not an exhortation  to have a Sunday night, Wednesday night services.

 

[Baptist City Holdout]

Trivia time : Can anybody tell us what Bro. Hyles said was the only thing wrong with a church that did not have Sunday night services?

Thank you, Tom, for trivializing the author's very important point. Heb. 10:25ff is encouraging people not to abandon the faith in light of persecution, but of course that is merely small potatoes in the face of the threat of skipping Wednesday night!

The failure of fundies to understand the Bible they claim to believe and defend, never fails to disappoint.

"Forsake" means "abandon."

 

[Ransom]

I see a lot of that logic here. The highlighted part was "and so much the more". How is havine less more?

Since Heb. 10:25 isn't talking about the frequency of worship services, how is "so much the more" even relevant to the discussion at hand?

The obvious antecedent to "all the more" is "encouraging one another," not having church services (which is not even mentioned). The latter interpretation is an infamous example of fundy eisegesis intended for nothing more than to defend their practice of filling up their members' freetime with gruntwork for the Kingdom.

Trivia time : Can anybody tell us what Bro. Hyles said was the only thing wrong with a church that did not have Sunday night services?

It meant two or three extra hours every week that Hyles had to babysit his sons or in-laws to make sure they didn't mess around with teenage girls?

The bigger question: why should anyone care?

I mean if you worship the man, you might care...
