__________________________________________
TEXT:
Heb 10:24-25, Acts 2:42
Memory Verse:
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread and in prayers. ACTS 2:42 (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION:
Christian fellowship could be defined as a regular gathering together of the believers in Christ for the purpose of
worship which includes teaching, preaching the word of God, ministering to the Lord in songs of worship and praises, collecting the contributions, Collections or levy of the saints, Holy Communion or breaking of bread, and Prayers. It also includes lifting up the spirit of the brethren with testimonies of the Lord's doings in the lives of individuals and the church.
Communicating or sharing material needs where and when necessary to those in need Heb 13:16
Another word for fellowship is communion; both of them are varying translations of the Greek words Koinonia and Koinoneo, which designate ACTS of fellowship observed among early Christians and expresses the unique sense of unity and fellowship by which they outwardly expressed these acts.
However, several passages in which these terms (fellowship or communion) are used fall into two groups: those in which they refer to acts of fellowship, and those in which they refer to fellowship as experienced .
In this lesson we are going to be considering "Fellowship" from these two perspectives. We pray The Holy spirit to open our eyes to see and our hearts to understand the mysteries of Fellowship .
