Having Fellowship
1 John 1:1-4

One of the things that I wish I had gone more indepth into on Sunday are the different things that we have partnership with, or fellowship with in God. As we have looked at fellowship a little this summer, we concluded that true fellowship or koininia has to do more with relationship and partnership with one another and with God. It is a strong foundation in Christ and the having the same goals and purposes in mind that brings us to fellowship with the Lord and also with one another.

Our fellowship with God is based upon an understanding of what and how we are supposed to act and be Christians. What is our fellowship? How do we maintain it? I think John is going to help us a little more as we dig into this letter in the next few weeks, but I want us to get to thinking about some of this fellowship now. We fellowship with God by, loving and being with one another; by sharing with those in need, and by partnering in sharing God's Word with others who do not know Him.

How is your fellowship? One of the things to remember is, before we can truly have fellowship and bring fellowship to this world, we must focus on our fellowship with God. Do you take time to commune with God on a daily basis? Are you in His Word?
