The Necessity Of Christian Fellowship

THE NECESSITY FOR CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP

Psalms 133 - “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his robes. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.”

INTRO: Many of us as Christians prefer to live our life in a very private way. We don’t want anybody to meddle in our live nor want to meddle in the life of others. But we shouldn’t forget that in Christianity, we are members of the Body of Christ. The more we have fellowship with other Christians the more we are made perfect in Christ Jesus. Yes, as believers we need to join together and find the meaning of being part of one another. Why is it important for us to have fellowship? Why is there a need for you and I do unite and help one another? Let us see the Biblical answer for this.

I. IT BRINGS GOODNESS TO OUR LIVES AND TO OTHERS – VS. 1

A. Goodness nurtures the church

B. Goodness flavors the church

C. Goodness benefits the church

II. IT IS PLEASANT FOR US AND TO THOSE THAT ARE WITH US – VS 1

A. It brings good manners among the church

B. The behavior patterns grow among the church

C. Everyone is going to desire to be part of the church

III. IT IS A SIGN OF UNITY – VS 1

A. Everyone is acceptable among the church

B. Everyone will feel part of the church

C. Everyone will be part of the church

IV. IT IS A SIGN THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS AMONG US – VS 2

A. Oil is the symbol of the Holy Spirit

B. He will anoint from the top to the bottom (Head – Authority; collar – members)

C. He will be upon all of us

V. IT IS A SIGN THAT THE BLESSINGS OF GOD WILL BE WITH US FOREVER – VS 3

A. Hermon and Zion – The climate was dry weather

B. Dew was there every morning – Water – Presence of God

C. God’s blessings are upon us forever

Conclusion: Truly it is a necessity for all of us to fellowship. For, if we don’t, then we will never be able to see God’s blessings in our lives. His blessings for us are more in a corporate blessings then individual blessing. That will be another study!
