We Were Formed for God's Family

During Sunday morning worship, God's Word was shared and we were reminded about the importance of fellowship.  Fellowship goes further than eating and talking.

God's desire is for us to be a part of His family.  Loving our spiritual family makes us more like God. 


There are 4 Levels of Fellowship

1.  Membership - making a choice to belong.

We choose to become members of a local church.  Fellowship begins with belonging, we make the choice to belong to the body of Christ.

2.  Friendship:  After choosing to join, we must develop friendships be meeting and sharing together.

A few things to share include:
  • experiences
  • homes
  • problems (when we share a joy, it is doubled, when we share a problem, it is cut in half).


3.  Partnership:  Doing our part!
We each have a contribution to make, we are gifted and empowered to serve.
Our heart attitude should be to do all to the glory of God.

4.  Kinship:  Loving others like family.
Life isn't about accomplishments, it is about relationships.
When we love others like family, we are there in good times and also times of crisis.  Loving through good and bad times.

  • Relationships - life is all about love
  • Worship - loving God
  • Fellowship - loving each other
