Acts 2:44-46- All the believers stayed together. They shared everything
Hebrews 10:24-25 -“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching
What Christian Fellowship IS:
1. Fellowship is the common enjoyment that Christians have and experience in our common worships of God the Father, through in Jesus Christ, and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:44-46 “All the believers stayed together. They shared everything…
2. Christian fellowship is a constant process of encouraging one another in our walks with the Lord and exhorting each other to holy living. 1 Thessalonians 5:11- “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”
3. Christian fellowship involves the exposing of sin, not the hiding of it. To confess it publically to one another, and repent of it altogether. Those were blessed times! James 5: 16- “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
4. Fellowship involves bearing up one another’s burdens. Christians are to help each other and meet each other’s needs. This is not only encouraging and helpful to one another, but it is a great testimony to the world around us. Jesus said this: “Let you light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” Matthew 5:16
5. Christian fellowship is ministry to one another. I love it when other Christians minister to my life, heart and soul as they encourage me to live for the glory of God alone when we are fellowshipping with one another. Ministry takes place in fellowship! Ephesians 5:19- “speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord…”
6. Christian fellowship is found in the “one another” Romans 15:7 -Accept one another, Colossians 3:16 -Admonish one another, Ephesians 4:2 - Bear with one another,
