Fellowship with Others

Getting to Know you:

• Talk about the best party you’ve ever been to and what made it great. 

Going Deeper: 

• In your experience, what makes Christian Fellowship so unique and different and attractive? 

• Look up 1 John 1:3-9. 

– What’s Johns reasoning for proclaiming the good news of the gospel in vs.3? What should our motivation be for doing the same thing? 

– What’s the end result of Fellowship with God according to vs.4? How should that be reflected in our lives? 

– Grapple with vs.5-6 and discuss why actions are more important than words when it comes to following Jesus. 

•Look up the parable of the sower in Matt.13 and discuss the parable in light on John’s words here. 

– If we cannot ever be without sin in this life, why try to be holy at all? 

• Look up Phil.3:10-11. Paul talks about the fellowship/share/koinonia of Jesus’ suffering. How do we share in Jesus suffering and why is it necessary so we might attain resurrection? 

• Look up 1 Cor.1:9-17. How should fellowship with Jesus affect our relationship with others?

– Why is division within the body of Christ something God’s Word overwhelmingly condemns? Discuss some biblical reasons to leave a church. Look up Jude to help your answer. 

Take it Home:

 • Examine your life to see what how your Fellowship with God is going. Evaluate your fellowship with others in God’s family and how might you work towards increasing community here at FBC?
