For fellowship to exist, a community of people must agree on what holds them together. For Christians, this is Jesus Christ. But a common faith does not exclude diversity in the church.

Ever heard the expression “you do you”? It's a popular saying that calls for freedom and self-expression. It says, “Don't be limited by the opinions and will of others. Do what you want to do in your own way without allowing anyone to interfere.”

To promote the togetherness God intends for his people, this series of open home meetings will focus on fellowship from the perspective of a different epistle each session.

Perseverance is the companion to all the other steps toward spiritual maturity. You will not have discipline, simplicity, or knowledge of God unless you persevere.

According to Charles Spurgeon, “…while the subject of knowing God humbles the mind, it also expands it…”

Chuck Swindoll lists five sources of clutter common to the lives of those who dwell in the 21st century…

Tom Landry, legendary coach of the Dallas Cowboys, said, “My job is to get men to do what they don't want to do in order to achieve what they have always wanted to achieve.”

This quarter’s open home discussion series is designed to help the participants develop spiritual maturity. There are four lessons, each one guiding us through important steps to take toward personal growth. Let’s challenge ourselves to grow up in every way into Christ (Eph. 4:15).

The church is called the “body of Christ” (Eph. 1:22-23). In his physical absence, we are his eyes, ears, hands, and feet. Therefore, what we do as the church ought to be inspired by the service Jesus rendered in his body during his life on earth.

Samuel Chadwick said, “The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.”

Try to define worship without using any of its expressions (e.g., singing, praying, listening to God’s Word, the Lord’s Supper, giving). What is the essence of praising God?

“Fellowship” is translated from a word that can mean “partnership,” “sharing,” and “communion.” It has to do with people who gather to enjoy one another’s company.

Christ linked love to obedience (John 14:15). Do we love King Jesus if we do not obey him?

While believers generally agree that evangelism is an important responsibility for every Christian, very few members of the church can count more than five people they have brought to Christ. Not many can count even one. When it comes to evangelism, why is there such a discrepancy between what we know we ought to do and what we actually do?

How might God bless us this year if we continue steadfastly in the work he has given us to do?

Making plans is easy. Why is it so hard to follow them through to the end?

Setbacks are a part of life, but God can take anything and work it together for good.

If we endure, our day of rejoicing will come too.
