hey guys...heres ur long waited SERMON NOTES =P
Title: ~Fellowship~
Speaker: Sister wanping
First we heard about spiritual growth n physical growth which are SIMILAR, why similar?
wells both happens in a family setting...like when u r reborn as a Christian u r born into a spiritual family where every1 is ur bro/sis rite?
Our relationship with God is personal! not private, we dont keep God in a 'piggy bank' rite?
dun forget ur spiritual family last FOREVER! which means u can see me in heaven which is great rite? =P
wad does fellowship gotta do wif family?
wells fellowship is being family to each other!
so we must learn how to love one another! (doesnt tat sound like our memory verse tis week in masterlife?
first point of the sermon!
->we are formed for God's family(Romans 12:5)
so it is important to learn how to be family to each other!
heres the second point
->Being God's disciples , we have to LOVE (1john 3:16)
fellowship is even giving up our lives or most valuable things for each other!
n in our live love and time is the most valuable!
Time is God's currency of love
Dont wait for tml to love each other!
love is by time and actions (1john 3:18)
third point!
-> being Jesus' disciple, we are accountable to our family! (are you accountable to some1?)
---> being accountable to each other in our character
--->it is easy to be holy when there is no one to test ur patience!
---> accountability prevents us from backsliding
-->when we don't connect or have accountability to others in our church/family, our values will mutate or corrupt
Hebrews 10:25--->encourage others, how? ask the Holy spirit to guide!
-->Don't give up going to church!
-->encourage one another not to give up when doing things for the Lord!
Last point!
->we nid others in our life (matthew 18:20)
-->God is among as we gather
Romans 12:10
3 things we nid to be:
1. we need to be REAL to people around us
2. we need to be OPEN to people around us
3. we need to ADMIT OUR WEAKNESS
2 human needs:
1. Need to be understood by others
2. Validated in their thoughts
to end all, heres something,
FELLOWSHIP KEEPS US FROM SINNING(1john 1:7-8)
srry for the late post, add colours some1 im horrid at it,
cya soon! i mean REAL SOON on SAT~~
Loves, CS
