This past week we had a wonderful time of fellowship. The fellowship included teaching on Biblical Fellowship from Acts 2. This was a followup sermon to the “Foundation of our Fellowship.” The message focus was upon the “Function of Fellowship”. Crossview doesn’t want to do church but be the church. Part of this is understanding our roles within the body of the local new testament church. If a member is not functioning she or he is in turn hurting or hindering the body of Christ in its growth and extension of itself. A fellowship becomes dynamic as it bonds itself to Christ, His Word, and one another. This is fleshed out in life through the care for things of God and our service toward others through acts of love. Love is the motivator and glue to a church. A church cannot become dynamic unless it trusts each member and is willing to build upon the common bond in Christ. This takes risks on our part as believers.
This coming week, Missionaries Theo and Sarah van Reijn will be sharing their burden for planting churches in the Netherlands. Should be an exciting weekend.
