Biblical Fellowship

Many have believe that church life is coming to a local congregation on Sunday hearing worship and then hearing a sermon, and then going home, some will even go to Wednesday night or even Friday. This seemed to be like going to some movie theater, you pay your tithes you hear a good movie then go home. –(Jam. 1:21-27, 2:14-26)

In addition, it seem the congregation is more a Movie Theater then church life. Now every believer has a ministry, however, they are in the service of the upkeep of the Sunday service, the theater church life. Yes we need those who will assist on Sunday morning aiding with the corporate service. –(1 Pet. 4:10-11, 2:4-10)

Corporate service is the place for the apostles, prophets and teachers to minister to the new apostolic congregation, however this is only a part of biblical fellowship. –(1 Cor. 12:28, Acts 13:1-3)

We need the home cell, we need the home church, we need the cell group, and the cell church. This is where the beginning of biblical fellowship begins. The pastoral care and the pastoral ministry are in the home cells. Jesus works in small groups to build relationships, and we are too built relationship with God and with one another in small groups; small groups are the beginning of church life. –(Rom. 16:5)

Small groups is not only the place for the ministry of the pastor, it is the beginning place of the believers ministry. Biblical fellowship is building on our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost, then to build relationship with follow believers in Christ. Meaning to love God then to love one another. –(Jn. 13:34-35)

We are to walk in the Light of Christ with one another, this is biblical fellowship, as we walk in the light of Christ, we are to believe for the blood of Jesus Christ to cleanses us from all sin; and biblical fellowship will aid you in your walk with Christ. –(1 Jn. 1:7, Jam. 5:13-18)

The early believers continued steadfastly in the teachings of the apostles, and fellowship, in eating together, and in prayer. This is biblical fellowship and if we have biblical fellowship we will see the fear of the Lord come upon every soul among us and around us, and many wonders and signs will come forth from the ministry of the apostles of today. –(Acts 2:42-43,46-47)

It is time to have church life, meaning a life of revival, a life of the supernatural, a life of walking and being led by the Holy Spirit, in the congregation, in the small groups, in the workplace, in our homes, and everyplace. Church life is not for Sunday only; it is for everyday of the week. –(Col. 3:16-17)

The theater church life is coming to an end, the congregation life is to be a center for equipping the saints for the work of the ministry, a place for ministries of the apostles, prophets, and teachers, a place for signs and wonders, and a place where the Holy Spirit outpours upon the believers, and the believers flow in prophecy, visions, signs, and the gifts of the Spirit, and the revival life. –(Acts 2:43, 1 Cor. 14:26-33)

The new apostolic congregation is the place for the gathering of the saints to hear the ministry of the apostles, Apostle Paul preach or teach about five hours, apostles would minister during long services, today we will see this in the new apostolic congregation. There will be no more half hour service, and no more one hour service, and there be no more 15 min. sermons, instead there will be teaching and preaching for hours at a time. –(Acts 20:7-12, Acts 14:1-7)
