Fellowship

fellowship - Why do I need fellowship with other believers?

Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.

Colossians 3:16

Romans 12:5

Romans 1:12

If we are living in the light, as God is in the light, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.

1 John 1:7

CLOSE COMMUNITY with other believers encourages intentionality, authenticity, generosity, and love. If you have a strong community, you already know what an incredible blessing it is. However, if you are still searching for a place of belonging, you might be feeling lonely, discouraged, and uncomfortable as you try out new relationships. Trust that God will reward your efforts as you pursue fellowship. Real community with other women takes time and some effort, but remember that each interaction could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Going through life with others is not always easy, but with the help of the Holy Spirit, it is one of the best ways to grow and be transformed into Christlikeness.
