How to Conduct a Solemn Assembly: A Biblical Guide for Leaders

Embracing Solemn Assemblies God Accepts

• Learn to experience solemn assemblies that are more than a programmed event.
• Discover how to guide God's people to experience His presence.

A solemn assembly is a God-ordained time of deep spiritual cleansing, repentance, and restored first love (Joel 2:12-18). Yet today, it is all too possible to attempt solemn assemblies that are shallow and over-programmed. When this occurs, churches experience a subtle form of "spiritual inoculation." In essence, we can receive a weakened version that actually keeps us from a genuine return to God.

It is also possible to conduct solemn assemblies in ways that are so brief and programmed that the Holy Spirit has little freedom to guide believers into life-changing repentance. In How to Conduct a Solemn Assembly, leaders receive effective guidance for experiencing a church-changing, Spirit-guided encounter with God. By God's grace, churches can experience true repentance and restored passion for Jesus. Let us settle for nothing less.
