Fellowship At Church

And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship… —Acts 2:42

Someone has described “fellowship” as two or more fellows in the same ship. That is a good analogy of what fellowship is. You cannot have Christian fellowship and be by yourself.

It is alarming to me how those who claim to be Christians do not get involved and become faithful to church — the local fellowship of believers. Such a thing was unheard of in the Bible. If you were a Christian, you were faithful to the fellowship at church. You attended when everyone gathered together. If you stopped attending, they assumed you were an apostate.

What is more important than the local visible expression of the body of Christ? It is the way we stay “plugged in” to the work of God. It is the way we show honor to Him in worship. It is the way we edify one another.

What do you have on your schedule this week that is more important than fellowshipping with your brothers and sisters in Christ at church?

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” — Hebrews 10:25
