FELLOWSHIP SHOWS OUR LOVE (3)

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Fellowship

a) Fellowship is often times overlooked in the life of a Christian.  If you grew up in the church, you might associate the word “fellowship” as something your church family did by bringing a pot-luck style of lunch for all to share after a special Sunday service.  But fellowship is not an event, no, it should be part of our life as a Christ-follower.  Maybe the strongest and most pointed passage about fellowship is from Hebrews 10 when the author says that some have stopped meeting and are neglecting fellowship.  This is important for all men and women of faith.   

Matthew 18:20
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.

2. Fellowship Shows Our Love

Colossians 2:2 
That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love, to reach all the riches of full assurance of understanding and the knowledge of God’s mystery, which is Christ.

Philippians 2:1-2 
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.

John 17:23  
I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 


The End ...
