Importance of fellowship

 The Word for Today.     The importance of fellowship Mar 2, 2025 ‘All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship,’ Acts 2:42 NLT Euclid was a Greek mathematician who lived about three hundred years after Christ. He is best known for his thirteen-volume series of books called Elements. Two of his axioms of geometry have been revised to produce the modern saying: ‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.’ Another way of saying this would be ‘something happens in a group that doesn’t happen alone’. That ‘something’ is called ‘synergy’. It comes from the Greek word sunergia, meaning cooperation and working together. The New Testament church practised it: ‘All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer’ (Acts 2:42 NLT).

Are you searching for meaning?

‘I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.’ Ecclesiastes 1:14 NIV


Are you thinking that if you had more money or greater success, you would be happy? Tennis star Boris Becker said: ‘I had won Wimbledon twice before, once as the youngest player. I was rich. I had all the material possessions I needed … It’s the old song of movie stars and pop stars who commit suicide. They have everything, and yet they are so unhappy. I had no inner peace.’


Solomon made the same discovery. ‘I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind’ (Ecclesiastes 1:14 NIV). Solomon tried religion, education, money, public works projects, fame, creative writing, and sensual pleasure: ‘I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labour, … Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, …’ (Ecclesiastes 2:10-11 NIV). Finally, in the last chapter of the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon finds what he is looking for: ‘… Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind’ (Ecclesiastes 12:13 NIV). Solomon discovered that life is not built on things but on relationships. And the first and foremost relationship you must have is a relationship with God. You say, ‘How do I find God?’ Through Christ! Jesus said, ‘“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”’ (John 14:6 NKJV). Today, you can have a life-changing relationship with God by putting your trust in Jesus Christ.
