Today I would like to share with you the word “Fellowship” as rendered from the Greek word in the New Testament in the KJV “Koinonia”. The word is from the Greek root word “Koinonos”, which is translated partaker five times, partner three times, fellowship one time and companion one time for a total of ten times.

The word “fellowship” (Koinonia) is used in the New Testament a total of twenty times in eighteen verses. It is often rendered fellowship, communion, communication and contribution. The word koinonia often is used as the share which one has in something or ones participation. In current vernacular, fellowship is often used as a meeting or a get together of believers even as, “hanging out with Christians”. The word is also used today as a state of being in alignment with God’s Word and His Will. Read more »

Tragic news has a was of uniting people to help. Unfortunately, its a away for organizations to get some free advertising. Remember Haiti? Its not strange  how things and events can somewhat fade into obscurity.

To all of our readers, remember those in need of prayer when and while you pray. I know that the Country of Haiti could use tons of financial relief and medical help, if all those reading this post would pass this on to other believers to continue to pray for these people, I believe we will begin to hear good reports coming out of this country and people will once again remember Haiti.

Isn’t the bottom line (your motivating reason), for going to church, is to one day spend eternity …away from Hell?  Why do you believe? Why do you go to church?  Why do you fellowship with other believers? Why do you say amen?  Even those who are just in the church for the purposes of socializing have a purpose and reason for attending and when they have gotten their fill of fun, friendship and are ready for new experiences, they move on.

As it relates to ministry, what will you do in 1020? How will you serve? That’s what ministry is. Ministry in more than serving God, its serving the body of Christ.  Say what? “Your serving God by going to Church? How does God benefit from you showing up to worship service every Sunday?

Who will you encourage? Who will you  “help up”? While so many believers are focused on what rewards and crowns they will receive when they get to heaven, they are missing the opportunity to do a service (ministry) to the saved and unsaved alike. Read more »
