A Serving Fellowship February 4, 2012

Requirements of a Biblical Serving Fellowship 1)A serving fellowship loves each other with a God given constant, abiding love – a love that comes only from God.

Requirements of a Biblical Serving Fellowship 2) A serving fellowship demonstrates this kind of love - a love which results in the offenses of others being forgiven. A true serving fellowship does not enjoy finding fault in each other, they enjoy forgiving faults.

Requirements of a Biblical Serving Fellowship 3) A serving fellowship offers hospitality to one another without complaining.

Requirements of a Biblical Serving Fellowship 4) A serving fellowship uses their God- given gifts to serve others in the body not themselves.

Serve Others  Every believer has a gift – ‘each one’.  Emphasis on use of gift, not identification of gift – ‘whatever gift’.  God gives the gifts as he chooses – ‘gift received’. God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. (1 Cor. 12:18)

Requirements of a Biblical Serving Fellowship 5) A serving fellowship displays the grace of God through the obedient stewardship of our various gifts.

Requirements of a Biblical Serving Fellowship 6) A serving fellowship realizes that gifts of speaking and serving both require God as the source of their service.

Requirements of a Biblical Serving Fellowship 7) A serving fellowship serves with the ultimate goal of God being glorified – not with the goal of our service being recognized, appreciated or rewarded.
