Purpose #2: FELLOWSHIP (Part 3) FORMED FOR GOD’S FAMILYMaterial Of Ptr. Rick Warren/ Preaching of Ptra. K Carolino

October 28, 2012

Introduction: One cannot call a relationship a RELATIONSHIP if it is just ____________

FOUR LEVELS OF FELLOWSHIP

• Level 1: MEMBERSHIP: CHOOSING TO BELONG• Level 2: FRIENDSHIP: LEARNING TO SHARE• Level 3: PARTNERSHIP: DOING MY PART

Partnership is realizing that ….I’ve got a CONTRIBUTION to make. God has brought me to my spiritual family to also SERVE.God wants to make a difference THROUGH my life

There are 58 times in the New Testament that says we do it

WITH ONE ANOTHER.

It is BETTER TOGETHER This is LOVE IN ACTION

“WE ARE PARTNERS WORKING TOGETHER FOR GOD.”

Where do I fit? How do I fit?

Ephesians 4:16 “ The whole body is fitted together perfectly.

As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts to grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of

love.”

It is difficult to get things done

ALONE!

It is working together that

gets things DONE!

If we COOPERATE, we get MORE DONE TOGETHER

than we could ever get done by ourselves.

CONCLUSION

I Peter 4:10 “Each of us has been blessed with

one of God’s many wonderful gifts to be used in the service of others. So use your gift well.”

Matthew 10:42 “ If you give even a

cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”

POINTS TO REFLECT• WHAT AM I GOOD AT THAT I CAN OFFER AS A

MINISTRY TO OTHER PEOPLE?

• WHAT DO I KNOW THAT I CAN TEACH OTHERS?

• WHAT CAN I MAKE AND GIVE TO SOMEONE AS A BLESSING?
