Preacher: Jeremy Herbert
Text: Act 18:22-23
Theme: Biblical Fellowship
Notes:
Harmony: working together in God’s mission.
Philippians 2: Christ, our model of humility and unity
The more you draw close to Christ, the more you will draw close to fellow believers.
Not:
- What is the church going to do for me?
- What am I going to do for the church?
But Instead:
- What are we going to do together for Christ?
It is easier to live for God on our own–but what’s easier isn’t necessarily biblical.
Ministry: Serving one another in love
- fellowship produces love and service
- fellowship shares goods and gifts
- Goods–sharing God’s material gifts
- Gifts–sharing God’s spiritual gifts
Maturity: helping one another to become more like Christ
- All God’s people–for all time–have been designed to experience spiritual health within the context of a faith family
- Spiritual health requires encouragement and accountability
- Hebrews 3:12-13
- Hebrews 10:24-25
Live It Out!
- Harmony: work with your church family to do God’s work
- Ministry: cultivate and use your spiritual gifts in church ministry
- Maturity: invest your life in others and let them invest in yours
