And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine & fellowship, in the breaking of bread, & in prayers. Acts 2:42 A Call To Fellowship

“Fellowship” Vincent’s Word Studies – A relation between individuals which involves a common interest A mutual, active participation in that interest AND in each other. Sharing material needs (Acts 2:44-45; 4:32). Cooperative effort of each member.

In the way of fellowship Formality (1 Cor 14:40) Absence (Heb 10:25) Minimizing one’s importance (1 Cor 12:12-27) Personality clashes (Jas 3:13-18) Conflicting goals (Ti 2:1-10; Ro 12:1-2)

Getting into fellowship Fervent love (1 Pet 4:7-8) Hospitality (1 Pet 4:9) Concern for all (1 Cor 12:24-26) Concern for the spirit (Jas 5:16, 19-20) Teach through song (Col 3:16) Serve in love (Gal 5:13-14; Phil 2:4-5)

The strength of our fellowship with one another is an indicator of the strength of our fellowship with our Father in heaven & our Lord.

Enhancing fellowship Learn everyone’s name. Notice joys, sorrows & needs. Pray & act in a constructive ways. Be “Approachable” Be “Transparent”
