WHY IS FELLOWSHIP SO IMPORTANT?
We Belong In God’s Family With Other Believers
“Let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” Gal 6:10
“You are a member of God’s very own family… and you belong in God’s household with every other Christian.” Eph. 2:19
“So in Christ, we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all others!” Rom. 12:5
We Need Encouragement To Grow Spiritually
“Let us think of one another and how we can encourage each other to love and do good deeds.” Heb. 10:24
“Two are better off than one… If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it’s just too bad, because there is no one to help him… Two men can resist an attack that would defeat one man alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break.” Eccl. 4:9-10,12 (GN)
We Need Accountability To Grow Spiritually
“Everyday… keep encouraging one another so that none of you are hardened by the glamour sin.” Heb. 3:13 (JB)
“People learn from one another just as iron sharpens iron.” Pr. 27:17 (GN)
“Brothers, if someone is trapped in sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently… Carry each others burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Gal. 6:1-2
Christ Is Present When We Fellowship Together
“For wherever there are two or three have come together in my name, I am there, right among them!” Matt. 1 8:20 (GN)
