DEVOTED TO FELLOWSHIP

DEVOTED TO FELLOWSHIP
Pastor Steve Trimble ~ January 24, 2010

Text: Acts 2:42-47, 4: 32-37

The key to having Christian fellowship is GRACE. (47) “…praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people.”

Acts 4:33 “and much grace was upon them all.”

True koinonia is founded upon MUCH GRACE.


I. FELLOWSHIP IS PARTICIPATION

Gal 6:2 “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

Rom 12:15-16 “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. Live in harmony with one another.”


II. FELLOWSHIP IS A PARTNERSHIP

Acts 2:1 “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” NKJV

Acts 2:44-46 notice how many times the word “together” is used.

Acts 4:32: “All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.”

Phil 1:1-11


III. FELLOWSHIP IS PROVISION

Acts 2:44-45 “All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.”

Acts 4:32: No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had.”


Conclusion: As the Grace of God fills our hearts may we have true Christian fellowship that blesses people & builds the Kingdom of Christ.
