Text — Acts 2:42-47
Message
Believers’ fellowship describes the relationship that should exist among friends of Jesus. In the early church, the Christians did not only come into fellowship with God, they nourished a lovely, open, warm and God-honouring relationship with one another.
Fellowship among believers demands that they:
- F – Feed on the word of God together.
- E – Encourage one another.
- L – Love one another unconditionally.
- L – Learn from one another.
- O – Observe and identify with one another.
- W – Wait on the Lord together.
- S – Selflessly serve one another.
- H – Honour one another.
- I – Instruct new converts.
- P – Pray for one another.
You must not forsake the assembly of the saints. The Lord’s desire for His friends is that they come together every time to worship, pray together, sing songs of praise, read the word of God, teach young believers and do all things in common.
