Fellowship with God: Living in Unity Through Christ
This sermon explores the profound meaning of Christian fellowship as more than just church activities or gatherings. Drawing primarily from Ephesians 4 and 1 John 1, the message emphasizes that fellowship (koinonia) is a divine participation in God's eternal life, initiated by God through Christ's incarnation and sacrifice. Believers are called to be conduits of God's life to one another, fitly joined together as a body with Christ as the head. The sermon stresses that maintaining this fellowship requires walking in the light, confessing sin, relying on the Holy Spirit as Jesus did, and avoiding worldly distractions. The Christmas season serves as a reminder that Emmanuel—God with us—came to provide not just salvation from hell, but a transformed life of purpose, connection, and spiritual maturity here and now.
