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).

Want what God wants

Feb 22, 2025


‘The king said to me, “What is it you want?”’ Nehemiah 2:4 NIV


The rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls began with two questions the king asked Nehemiah. The first question was ‘What is bothering you?’ (see Nehemiah 2:2). The second question was ‘What is it you want?’ (Nehemiah 2:4 NIV). Nehemiah replied, ‘… send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it’ (Nehemiah 2:5 NIV). Nehemiah knew exactly what he wanted, because a passion for it had been conceived in his spirit. He had been thinking and praying about it for quite a few months when the king asked him what he wanted.


A pastor writes: ‘Few things are as miraculous as the moment of human conception. A sperm penetrates an egg, and all the genetic data that determine who you will become—everything from facial features to personality traits—is encoded within that single cell. And it begins a nine-month process of gestation. The mother’s body starts producing hormones before she even knows she is pregnant. The baby’s heart starts beating on day twenty-two. At four weeks, that single cell has grown ten thousand times larger. At around day forty-two, neurons start multiplying at the astounding rate of approximately ten thousand per second. Everything from the optic nerve to the auditory cortex to the respiratory system is being formed in the womb.’ And a God-given vision is conceived the same way. It begins small and keeps growing within you until the time of delivery. That’s why the Bible says, ‘For the vision is yet for the appointed time; … though it delays, wait for it; for it will certainly come. It will not delay long’ (Habakkuk 2:3 NASB20). So, the word for today is—want what God wants.
