Purpose: Fellowship

This week we’ll look at another of the main purposes God has for our lives. We are created to relate not only to God in worship, but also to relate to other people in fellowship. Our memory verse last week was about loving God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength — the first commandment. But Jesus also said that right after that, the second commandment was to love our neighbor as ourself.

We will learn this Sunday about Aquila and Priscilla, a Jewish couple who came to believe in Jesus. They were tentmakers, and they became great friends with Paul, also a tentmaker by trade. Paul lived with them in Corinth for three years while he continued to preach and teach about Jesus, and then they traveled together to Ephesus, where Aquila and Priscilla remained while Paul went on to Jerusalem.

Besides their friendship with Paul, they were friends to others as well. They helped a new Christian named Apollos to better understand the teachings of Jesus, and they welcomed fellow believers into their home by hosting a house church. They were great models of fellowship.

We will talk about how important friends are in our lives this Sunday, and look at some of the ways we can be good friends to others. This would be a very good day to bring one of your friends to join us!

Tom and Sydney Cook
