The Purpose Driven Life: We’re In This Together– May 4, 2015






Colossians 3:15     Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Psalm 133:1     A song of ascents. Of  David. How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity!

The Bible puts forth the call to fellowship. We are called to be in communion and to experience life together.

Matthew 18: 19-20     …"Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

There are several things that happen when we are in fellowship together:

1)      We experience sincerity in people: 1 John 1: 7     But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.

2)      We get to experience reciprocity:     Romans 1:11-12     …For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established; that is, that I may be encouraged together with you while among you, each of us by the other's faith, both yours and mine.

3)      We experience sympathy:  Galatians 6: 2     Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.


4)      We experience mercy:     Colossians 3:13     Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.
