True Christian Fellowshp

We at Antioch, love to fellowship!!  We love eating together, sharing together and worshipping together!  While fellowship with one another is a crucial part of Christan worship, how much 'spiritual fellowship" do we do? 

In our Experiencing God study, we learned that God is always at work around us.  It is up to us to be aware of where and what He is doing and join Him - not follow our own plan! 

If we are in tune to one another spiritually, there will be opportunities to know when God is at work in a brother or sister's life. 

Donald S. Whitney in  a book called Simplify Your Spiritual Life.  shares some questions that are a natural help in directing you conversations with your brothers and sisters in the faith to the spiritual. This is a handy list to keep in your Bible, planner or purse.
  1. How is your (teaching, hospitality, outreach, or whatever) ministry going? What do you enjoy most about it?
  2. Where have you seen the Lord at work lately?
  3. What's the Lord been teaching you recently?
  4. Have you had any evangelistic opportunities lately?
  5. Have you had any obvious answers to prayer recently?
  6. What have you been reading? How has it impressed you?
  7. Where in the Bible have you been reading lately? What impact has it had on you?
  8. How can I pray for you?
  9. What's the growth point in your life right now?
  10. What are you passionate about right now?
As we grow together as a church, may our fellowship deepen in Him as we become aware of His work.
